Whether from the old or the new

For a time it was almost a cliche to say that anthropology was a handmaiden of colonialism - by which was usually meant ’Western’ colonialism. And this insinuation was assumed to somehow weaken the theoretical claims of anthropology and its fieldwork achievements.What this collection demonstrates is that colonialism was not only a Western phenomenon, but ’Eastern’ as well. And that Japanese or Chinese anthropologists were also engaged in studying subject peoples.But wherever they were and whoever they were anthropologists always had a complex and problematic relationshi

Colonialism and Homosexuality is a thorough investigation of the connections of homosexuality and imperialism from the late 1800s - the era of ’new imperialism’ - until the era of decolonization. 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.
