Description

The first book to explore the queer politics of LGBTQ+ Pride in global terms, exploring the impacts, controversies and potential of Pride across the world.

Drawing from extensive fieldwork in South Africa, South and East Asia, Cuba and New York, The Queer Politics of Pride explores and conceptualises the contemporary politics of LGBTQ+ Pride and queer activism in global contexts. Building on critical queer scholarship, the book includes the perspectives and critiques of grassroots queer activists and applies contemporary social, political and international theory to conceptualise Pride as part of the global processes of capitalism and the socio-political and spatial dynamics of gentrification.

By exploring the politics and controversies of Pride, Conway addresses broader questions about the contemporary LGBTQ+ advocacy movement including the influence and place of corporate sponsorship and advocacy, relationship with state and international institutions and the rise of an LGBTQ+ global elite.
