The first book to explore the queer politics of LGBTQ+ Pride on a global level, examining the impacts, challenges, and possibilities of Pride worldwide.

Based on extensive research in South Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Cuba, and New York City, the book "The Queer Politics of Pride" analyzes and conceptualizes the contemporary politics of LGBTQ+ Pride and queer activism in a global context.

Building on critical queer theory, the book includes perspectives and critiques from grassroots queer activists and applies contemporary social, political, and international theories to conceptualize Pride as part of global capitalist processes and the socio-political and spatial dynamics of gentrification.

Exploring the politics and challenges of Pride, Conway discusses broader issues related to the modern LGBTQ+ advocacy movement, including the influence and role of corporate sponsorship and endorsement, the relationship with state and international institutions, and the rise of a global LGBTQ+ elite.
