Description

Pride Parades: How a Parade Changed the World tells the story of Pride from its beginning in 1970 to 2010. Over six million people annually participate in 115 Pride parades across the United States, showcasing a vibrant celebration of identity and community.

The author weaves together interviews, archival reports, quantitative data, and ethnographic observations at six diverse contemporary parades to describe how Pride parades are a venue for participants to challenge everyday cultural stigma and improve the standing of LGBT people in American culture. With vivid imagery, this book showcases the voices and experiences of those who have shaped the evolution of Pride.
