Publisher description
This research explores the Western conceptualizations of non-western
patterns of same-sex desire and relates these to the evolution of European
attitudes to homosexuality. It contributes to the historiography of western
constructions of cultural and sexual "otherness" and aims at unravelling in
particular how the construction of modern "sodomite", later "homosexual"
identity was intertwined with essentialist definitions of so-called "racial"
identity. Exploring the Western conceptualizations of non-western patterns of
same-sex desire and the evolution of European attitudes to homosexuality, this
research particularly examines how the construction of "sodomite" identity was
intertwined with essentialist definitions of so-called "racial" identity.
