This should be the definitive book on the global politics of Pride. \"Chris Rossdale, University of Bristol, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"quote\"\u003e\"In this sharp, funny, and fiercely honest book, Conway slices through the feel-good narratives surrounding Pride and pushes us to confront the tough, necessary questions: Who gets excluded? How does capitalism shape the politics of these events? And where might Pride go from here? Seamlessly weaving theory with rich ethnographic work, Conway offers not a negative critique but a reparative and generous reading - opening up fresh, alternative ways of imagining queer politics today. This is a book that doesn't just analyse Pride; it loves queer worlds enough to demand better, and it turns to grassroots activists and community organizers - centring their voices, their struggles, and their visions - to show us the way forward.\" Olimpia Burchiellaro, University of Essex, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Conway\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is Reader in Politics and International Relations at the University of Westminster, UK and a Research Associate at the Wits Centre for Diversity Studies, University of the Witwatersrand.
