Description
After Equality: LGBT Activism in Argentina and South Africa provides a comparative analysis of how LGBT movements have transformed following the achievement of legal equality in two Global South nations. Julie Moreau examines the distinct political, social, and cultural contexts that shape activism in Argentina and South Africa, revealing how movements navigate the period after major legislative victories.
The book explores critical questions about the future of LGBT activism when traditional equality-focused goals are reached. Moreau investigates how activists redirect their efforts toward broader social justice issues, including economic inequality, violence, and social discrimination that persist despite legal reforms. The study reveals important differences between the two countries’ movements, shaped by their unique histories, political systems, and social conditions.
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Gender and Politics series, this work contributes significantly to understanding how social movements evolve, adapt, and sustain themselves beyond their initial victories. It offers valuable insights for scholars, activists, and policymakers interested in gender politics, LGBT rights, and comparative activism studies.
