Social Movements, Queer Studies and Citizenship: Exploring Theoretical Intersections

Abstract

This book draws on two major sets of theory: social movement studies, on the one hand, and lesbian, gay and queer studies, on the other. The particular choice of these two bodies of literature results from the specificity of the topic discussed in the book — the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) social movement — which clearly contains aspects of interest both to social movement theorists (and activists) and to lesbian, gay and queer studies theorists (and activists).
