商品簡介
Examining the literature produced by Paul Bowles, William Burroughs, and Alfred Chester while they were American expatriates in the Moroccan city of Tangier, Mullins (Evergreen State College) reflects on how their writings represented the interaction between sexual politics and colonialism. Applying concepts from queer theory and colonial theory, he looks at a range of issues swirling around the city where cultures, sexualities, and politics met with differing levels of power. Among these are the Western experience of Morroco as a destination of homosexual tourism, sexual tourism as situated in contexts of colonial relationships and financial transactions, the equation of colonial relationships with gendered spheres of power, and the accommodations of Moroccan society to practices it ostensibly condemned.
