The Politics of Pride Events by Francesca Romana Ammaturo explores how Pride events have become a powerful global symbol of LGBTQIA+ visibility, celebrated everywhere from urban centres to remote villages across the Global North and South.

Drawing on decolonial theories, this book examines the complex relationship between Pride and modernity. It addresses pressing issues such as accessibility, grassroots activism, and environmental sustainability in a post-pandemic era.

Challenging Eurocentric narratives of progress, modernity, and human rights, the author introduces the concept of 'Kaleidoscope Modernities' to reveal the diverse meanings Pride embodies worldwide.

Essential for understanding the shifting landscapes of LGBTQIA+ rights and cultures, The Politics of Pride Events offers a bold, fresh perspective.
