Postcolonial, Queer - Theoretical Intersections

Uses postcolonial theory to critique the globalization of gay culture.
These thirteen essays address possible ramifications arising from the globalization of western notions of gay and lesbian identities. Examining postcolonial literature, economics, and psychology from a "queer" perspective leads to self-reflexive consideration of the canonization of postcolonial studies and queer theory in western academe.
