Sommario/riassunto

Queer Theory: Law, Culture, Empire uses queer theory to examine the complex interactions of law, culture, and empire.

The authors - from five continents - delve into examples drawn from Bollywood cinema to California's 2008 marriage referendum. The chapters view a wide range of texts - from cultural
