Description
This book is primarily a history of homosexuality, travel and cultural encounter in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) from the 1880s to the modern day. It is also an account of a wider culture, including politics, art and creativity and discusses the ways that homoeroticism figured in the lives and work of local figures, visitors and expatriates. The book argues that homosexuals played a major role in the transmission of cultural influences from Sri Lanka to the rest of the world, and from the wider world to this Indian Ocean island.An excellent study of trans-national cultural exchange, sexuality and the relationships between them, this book will be of interest to academics in the field of Asian Studies, Colonial History and Gay/Queer Studies.
