'In After Equality, Julie Moreau unpacks one of the most pressing challenges for LGBTQ movements: ensuring that legal victories translate into lived equality. Focusing on the experiences of activists in Argentina and South Africa, Moreau's comparative ethnography reveals how social movements navigate the limitations of formal inclusion by deploying intersectional strategies that address the intertwined effects of sexuality, race, and class. This book is a powerful contribution to understanding the evolving dynamics of LGBTQ rights in the global South. Moreover, it offers political science's limited focus on LGBTQ movements a fresh and essential perspective, by centering those led by women.' Phillip Ayoub, University College London
