In the same period that these victories have been secured by queer movements, we've seen the rise of crony capitalism, violent consequences of the war on terror, the hyper-juridification of politics, the financialization of social movements, and the medicalization of non-heteronormative identities and practices. But how do we critically read the celebratory global proliferation of queer rights in these neoliberal times?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew Intimacies, Old Desires\u003c\/em\u003e, edited by Oishik Sircar and Dipika Jain, collects answers to this question.
