- Description
- Special consideration in this volume is given to gender issues arising during periods when upheaval challenged colonial regimes, which often resulted in decolonization and independence. Chapters also reveal how former colonies transitioned into ‘nations,’ along with transnational dynamics that took place among modern states. A common thread woven through each article is the matter of precisely who it was that deserved to be treated and recognized as fully human in an era of imperial exchanges and ongoing capitalist globalization. Authors describe hemes as labour, commodities, fashion, mobility, and activism while exploring the dynamics of empire in destinations ranging from Africa and the Americas to Europe and Asia. .Originally published as Gender & History Volume 26 Issue 3

- Description
- An anti-homosexuality law circulating in the Ugandan parliament generated between 2009 and 2014 a global discussion about queer rights. The book explores the afterlives of colonialism and the queer futures enabled by it in Uganda, India, and Britain. It describes the international relations that anticipated and followed the Anti Homosexuality Act, explores the dialectic produced by two opposed statements that mark queer postcolonial disagreements and reveals how queerness mutates in different configurations of power.

- Description
- Palko undertakes a comparative transnational reading to develop literary models of good mothering. She argues that Irish and Caribbean literary representations of non-normative mothering practices do not reflect dangerous mothering but are rather cultural negotiations of the definition of a good mother. This book demonstrates the commitment to countering the dominant ideologies of maternal self-sacrifice foundational to both Irish and Caribbean nationalist rhetoric, offering instead the possibility of integrating maternal agency into an effective model of female citizenship.

- Description
- The author uses masochism as a lens to examine how power structures race, gender, and embodiment in different contexts. Musser employs masochism as a tool for probing relationships between power and subjectivity. Engaging with a range of debates about lesbian S&M, racialization, femininity, and disability, as well as key texts such as Sacher-Masoch’s Venus in Furs, Pauline Réage’s The Story of O, and Michel Foucault's History of Sexuality, Musser renders legible the complex ways that masochism has been taken up by queer, feminist, and critical race theories. Furthering queer theory’s investment in affect and materiality, she proposes “sensation” as an analytical tool for illustrating what it feels like to be embedded in structures of domination such as patriarchy, colonialism, and racism and what it means to embody femininity, blackness, and pain.

- Description
- This study examines gender and sexuality in relation to colonialism of sport mega-events. Built around four case studies in postcolonial and settler colonial context : the Olympics in Vancouver, London and Sochi and soccer fans in the Egyptian revolution, the book examines sporting 'homonationalism' and anti-colonial resistance. The first part discusses different moments of ‘homonationalism’ in sport. The second part explores how indigenous and anti-colonial protests against mega-sport events lead to different views about gender and sexuality politics in sport.

- Description
- Gloria Wekker explores a central paradox of Dutch culture: the passionate denial of racial discrimination and colonial violence coexisting alongside aggressive racism and xenophobia. Accessing a cultural archive built over 400 years of Dutch colonial rule, Wekker fundamentally challenges Dutch racial exceptionalism by undermining the dominant narrative of the Netherlands as a 'gentle' and 'ethical' nation. Wekker analyzes the Dutch media's portrayal of black women and men, the failure to grasp race in the Dutch academy, contemporary conservative politics and the controversy surrounding the folkloric character Black Pete, showing how the denial of racism and the expression of innocence safeguards white privilege.

- Description
- Since many countries in the Global South opened themselves in the nineties to the free market the term 'queer' came along. Authors track the implications of this for academic engagement, politics and same-sex organizing, both conceptually and through introductions to various ethnographic sites that offer concrete manifestation of that engagement, politics and organizing.
