The Gentrification of Queer Activism : Diversity Politics and the Promise of Inclusion in London PDF
by Olimpia Burchiellaro
- Information
Description
In the 2010s, London's LGBTQ+ scene was hit by extensive venue closures.
For some, this represented the increased inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in society.
For others, it threatened the city's status as a 'global beacon of diversity' or merely reaffirmed the hostility of London's neoliberal landscapes. Navigating these competing realities, Olimpia Burchiellaro explores the queer politics of LGBTQ+ inclusion in London. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted with activists, professionals and LGBTQ-friendly businesses, the author reveals how gender and sexuality come to be reconfigured in the production and consumption of LGBTQ+ inclusion and its promises. Giving voice to queer perspectives on inclusion, this is an important contribution to our understanding of urban policy, nightlife, neoliberalism and LGBTQ+ politics.
