Book Review

Comparative/World

Robert Aldrich. Colonialism and Homosexuality. New York: Routledge. 2003. Pp. xii, 436. Cloth $80.00, paper $24.95.

"[A] thorough investigation of the connections between homosexuality and imperialism from the late 1800s," the back cover of this book says. I am not sure I agree. It is more accurate to say that Robert Aldrich writes about homosexuality where it overlaps with colonial circumstances in any way. European settlers, native populations, stray observers, authors, district officials, prostitutes, lingo, catamite parlors are all discussed. Homosexuality in literature is side by side with mateship among Australia's convict population, maharajahs, Polynesians, and André Gide's depiction of Algiers. It is all good.
