Taylor & Francis Ltd Imperial Leather
Book SynopsisImperial Leather chronicles the dangerous liaisons between gender, race and class that shaped British imperialism and its bloody dismantling. Spanning the century between Victorian Britain and the current struggle for power in South Africa, the book takes up the complex relationships between race and sexuality, fetishism and money, gender and violence, domesticity and the imperial market, and the gendering of nationalism within the zones of imperial and anti-imperial power.Trade Review"The author and Routledge are to be congratulated on a big, beautiful book that many students of the history of sexuality will find alluring." -- Journal of the Historyof Sexuality"Imperial Leather is what an academic book ought to be: intelligent, informed, socially committed, engaged, and engaging." -- Women's Review of Books"Imperial Leather is a wonderful book." -- Women's Reviewof Books"McClintock's magisterial study...is a daring articulation of the race-class-gender triad." -- Choice"Anne McClintock's Imperial Leather takes a prominent place among a number of recent works...that question the relegation of the imperial enterprise to the back benches of the Victorian sensibility...Ms. McClintock's astute reading of novels, diaries, and advertisements, among other sources, demonstrates how images of domestic life can be incorporated into an ideology of imperial domination." -- The New York Times Book Review"Imperial Leather is a very passionately written book, and the reader cannot help but be involved in the various texts that McClintock freely uses. Nothing escapes her hard, penetrating gaze...The work is thoughtful and well researched. I highly recomend it." -- Journal ofCarribean Studies"This is a big book, in every sense of the word: big format, big ideas, big aim." -- The Canadian HistoricalReview"Lucidly written, wide-ranging in its scope, supple and rigorous in its analysis, and impressive in its consistent theorization of gender in relation to other axes of power, Imperial Leather is a major contribution to materialist feminist scholarship." -- Signs"Engaging and frequently brilliant." -- Victorian StudiesTable of ContentsI.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Beneath the Equator Cultures of Desire Male
Book SynopsisBased on long-term field research carried out over more than 15 years, Beneath the Equator examines the changing shape of male homosexuality and the emergence of diverse and vibrant gay communities in urban Brazil. Drawing on detailed ethnographic description of multiple sexual worlds organized around street cruising and impersonal sex, male prostitution, transgender performances, gay commercial markets and establishments, gay rights activism and AIDS service provision, Richard Parker examines the changing sexual identities, cultures and communities that have taken shape in Brazil in recent years. Also includes 15 maps.Trade Review"Parker's latest book is extremely well-written and has already become a vital point of reference for scholars of Brazilian (as well as Latin American) sexual cultures, gay and lesbian studies and queer theory, anthropology, sociology, geography, and cultural studies... [U]ndoubtedly one of the most intellectually rigorous and far-reaching studies of gay identities and communities today focusing on one national culture in close connection to the contemporary globalized world. Fernando Arenas, University of Minn.""Parker has written an impressive book that looks deeply in the changing "cultures of desire" in gay communities of Brazil. Parker has a unique talent of writing in such a way that you enjoy reading the book..." -- AIDS BookReview Journal"Parker's compassionate and clearly written study of male-male sexual relationships in Brazil is one of the most important works of the late 20th century to illustrate the interrelated elements of personal desire, oppression, local culture, and global phenomena." -- Choice, November 1999"Parker's work brings together a mural portrait of the dilemmas, paradoxes, and unexpected reconfigurations of gay identity and symbols in contemporary Brazil. It will serve as a valuable survey, particularly for those unfamiliar with the growing body of work on homoeroticism in Brazil, because of the study's ambitious breadth. CLGH, The Committee on Lesbian and Gay History, Fall, 2000, Vol. 14, Issue No. 2.""This excellent overview is designed as the first in a series of monographs examining Brazilian homosexuality. Appropriate for larger public and academic libraries." -- Library Journal"Parker's book is a dazzling portrait of a sexual culture in rapid change, but also an illumination of the ways in which sexuality becomes a focus of complex cultural forces, producing a rainbow hue of diversity." -- Jeffrey Weeks, author of Invented Moralities: Sexual Values inan Age of Uncertainty(1995)"Parker's analysis centers on multiple overlapping and distinct realities in terms of race, class, age, gender performance, cultural styles, or erotic practices, all of which inform Brazilian gay life. Parker delineates the contours of the urban gay world of Brazil by focusing on the growth of a gay-identified cultural industry, the superimposition of a gay commercial world over homoerotic practices, as well as the emergence of a gay activism as a consequence of AIDS..." -- Fernando Arenas Luso-Brazilian ReviewTable of Contents1.
