About this book
Reviews
“Matthew Farmer’s book is the first to offer a comprehensive analysis of LGBT non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working transnationally from the UK – such as the Human Dignity Trust, Kaleidoscope Trust and Stonewall. Interviews with many key LGBT activists such as Jonathan Cooper, Paul Dillane, Bisi Alimi and Peter Tatchell reveal priorities and strategies. The research centres colonialism’s legacies for contemporary power relations; it deserves engagement from critical analysts, LGBT movements and wider publics internationally’.” (Matthew Waites, Reader in Sociology at the School of Social and Political Science, University of Glasgow, UK)
