 Postcolonial
and Queer Theories : Intersections and Essays by
John C. Hawley (Editor)
Since the 1960s American and Western European
gays have set the agenda for sexual liberation and defined its
emergence. But homosexuality is a global phenomenon, and gay and
lesbian cultures around the world do not always neatly fit Western
paradigms. This book investigates the implied imposition of a
heavily capitalistic, white, and generally male model on emerging
nations and suggests alternative frameworks for describing
sexuality. By combining postcolonial and queer theories, the
contributors to this volume explore diverse manifestations of
homosexuality in the emerging world and the equally diverse
literary representations of gay and lesbian lifestyles in those
countries.
