He argues that to understand the collective identity, structure, strategies and goals of the movement, we need to understand the role that capitalism and the state have played. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile capitalism and the state have figured centrally in earlier analyses of social movements, these important institutions and their social processes are no longer central concerns of the theory and research of social movements in the United States. \u003ci\u003eCapitalisms and Gay Identities\u003c\/i\u003e examines how the class-based inequalities and changing class structures of capitalism interact with and indeed help shape the dynamics of other types of inequalities, such as gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity. These inequalities and structures, in turn, shape the specific grievances of, and affect the nature of, stigma levied against individuals with sexual and gender nonconformity. Valocchi shows that capitalism is a dynamic system, and as it changes, the nature of the movement and the collective identity created by the movement also changes. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA vital text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of sociology, social movements, LGBTQ politics and American studies, \u003cem\u003eCapitalisms and Gay Identities\u003c\/em\u003e challenges our understanding of many aspects of the gay and lesbian movement when viewed through the lens of capitalism, particularly its ability to advance the cause of sexual freedom and gender justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Valocchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138489891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138489899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Stephen Valocchi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113277599999,"sku":"9781138489899","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_479c9699-851b-408a-acb9-5c07b41654c8.jpg?v=1769614041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/capitalisms-and-gay-identities-stephen-valocchi-9781138489899","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
