The Geography of Perversion: Male-to-male Sexual Behaviour Outside the West and the Ethnographic Imagination, 1750-1918Cassell, 1996 - 328 páginas This research explores the Western conceptualizations of non-western patterns of same-sex desire and relates these to the evolution of European attitudes to homosexuality. It contributes to the historiography of western constructions of cultural and sexual otherness and aims at unravelling in particular how the construction of modern sodomite, later homosexual identity was intertwined with essentialist definitions of so-called racial identity. |
