COLONIALISM & HOMOSEXUALITY

Robert Aldrich
COLONIALISM & HOMOSEXUALITY
Colonial 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 Europeans whose sexual inclinations did not fit neatly into the constraints of European society. Certain colonies became known as sites of homosexual licence. Bonds between men in the colonial world ranged across a wide spectrum - from friendship with other Europeans to relationships with native men or boys. Robert Aldrich argues that homosexual inclination exercised a profound influence on the political attitudes and artistic works of many Europeans in the colonial world.
