Reviews

'72 countries treat same-sex acts as a crime. Many are Islamic, but others constitute less-expected group: British ex-Colonies. The UK is now at the front of LGBT rights, but historic prohibitions, imposed across the empire, have dire traces. This fascinating and careful book looks at how the situation came about and offers some hope for repeal.' -- Timon Screech, Professor, SOAS University of London, UK
