Description

This is a compilation of multidisciplinary essays which discuss same-sex desire among women outside of Western culture.

It explores female eroticism in such societies and cultures as India, Polynesia, Latin America, Native North America and southern Africa.

The book offers evidence against the commonly accepted notion that non-Western women are generally passive victims of male domination and compulsory heterosexuality.

It also attempts to dispell the idea that same-sex female desire is rooted in Western neo-imperialist culture.

In a larger sense, the essays attempt to look past the ethnocentric categories in which sexuality, identity and culture are often considered.
