Robert Aldrich reconstructs the context of a number of liaisons, including those of famous men such as Cecil Rhodes, E.M. Forster or André Gide, and the historical situations which produced both the Europeans and their non-Western lovers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColonial lands, which in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century included most of Africa, South and Southeast Asia and the islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans and the Caribbean, provided a haven for many Europeans whose sexual inclinations did not fit neatly into the constraints of European society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach 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. Students both of colonial history, and of gender and queer studies, will find this an informative read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Aldrich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415196159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415196154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.64h x 6.34w x 1.50d","brand":"Robert Aldrich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136054866175,"sku":"9780415196154","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ecf3ffed-6aa2-4532-9899-976e3f5b5b3f.jpg?v=1770160211","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/colonialism-and-homosexuality-robert-aldrich-9780415196154","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
