Across global queer activism and literature from the social sciences and humanities, the impact of empires on the regulation of sexuality and gender is an emergent theme. While there has been a considerable focus on British colonial criminal law, there is a need to investigate and compare the diverse forms of power and control adopted across the histories of European empires. In Colonialisms and Queer Politics, Sonia Corrêa, Gustavo Gomes da Costa, and Matthew Waites provide a groundbreaking comparative analysis of empires and colonialities with respect to sexuality and gender diversity. Including contributions from an international team of authors, chapters focus on eleven empires: Portuguese, Spanish, British, French, Dutch, Ottoman, Russian, Belgian, German, Italian, and United States. Starting from the fifteenth century, authors explore how colonial racial hierarchies, gender norms, and heteronormativity structured relations between colonizing and colonized societies. The chapters reveal extreme variation in the regulation of sexualities, genders, and race, and shed light on the impacts of religious differences across colonialisms. The chapters also investigate continuing colonialities, particularly effects on contemporary governmental regulation and LGBTIQ+ activisms. By comparing both the histories and legacies of empires following formal decolonizations, Colonialisms and Queer Politics offers an essential contribution to the study and advancement of contemporary queer politics.

'We used to talk about development with a human face. We should be talking about development with a body'Arit Oku-Egbas, African Regional Sexuality Resource Centre, NigeriaSex and sexuality have always had a place at the heart of the development agenda - from concerns regarding population and environment, to practices in education and efforts for protecting reproductive health and rights. Yet this agenda has largely focused on negative dimensions of sexuality - disease, risk, violation - rather than positive aspects, including rights to sexual fulfillment, wellbeing and pleasure. The shift towards a rights-based approach to development has brought the human rights dimensions of sexuality into clearer view, and consequently the need to address discriminatory laws and violations of the human rights of those whose sexual identity and practices diverge from dominant sexual orders/norms.This book offers compelling insights into contemporary challenges and transformative possibilities of the struggle for sexual rights. It combines the conceptual with the political, and offering inspiring examples of practical interventions and campaigns that emphasize the positive dimensions of sexuality. It brings together reflections and experiences of researchers, activists and practitioners from Brazil, India, Nigeria, Peru, Serbia, South Africa, Turkey, the UK and Zambia. From political discourse on sex and masculinity to sex work and trafficking, from HIV and sexuality to struggles for legal reform and citizenship, the authors explore the gains of creating stronger linkages between sexuality, human rights and development.
