Colonialism and Homosexuality

Description:

"Colonialism and Homosexuality is a thorough investigation of the connections between homosexuality and imperialism from the late 1800s - the era of 'new imperialism' - until the period of decolonisation. Aldrich reconstructs liaisons, including those of famous men such as Cecil Rhodes, E.M. Forster and Andre Gide, and their historical contexts. Each of the case studies is a micro-history of a particular colonial situation, a sexual encounter and its wider implications for cultural and political life."--Jacket.
