Subject: RE: (homo)sexuality/sociality and postcolonialism


Hi Andrew

That's a broad category you got going there. Try Chris Lane's book 'Ruling
Passion'

Joseph Britow's book on Victorian sexualities has something similar I think;
Defiant Desire eds., Gevisser and Cameron. There's a new book on Queer and
Po-co theory which I haven't read yet and the name is escaping me. Arguing
with the Phallus is a text on Poco and Queer.

Hope this starts you off well

Dave

Well, I'll try anyway!

Can anyone suggest some writings which link Sedgwick's notion of
homosociality
to postcolonialism?  I have come across very little.

Thanks, Andrew
