520    "Worlding Postcolonial Sexualities demonstrates how late 
       twentieth century postcolonial print cultures initiated a 
       public discourse on sexual activism and contends that 
       postcolonial feminist and queer archives offer alternative
       histories of sexual precarity, vulnerability, and 
       resistance. The book's comparative focus on India, Jamaica,
       and South Africa extends the valences of postcolonial 
       feminist and queer studies towards a historical 
       examination of South-South interactions in the theory and 
       praxis of sexual rights. Analyzing the circumstances of 
       production and the contents of English-language and 
       intermittently bilingual magazines and newsletters 
       published between the late 1970s and the late 1990s, these
       sources offer a way to examine the convergences and 
       divergences between postcolonial feminist, gay, lesbian 
       activism. It charts a set of concerns common to feminist, 
       gay, and lesbian activist literature: retrogressive 
       colonial-era legislation impacting the status of women and
       sexual minorities; marked increase in sexual violence; 
       piecemeal reproductive freedoms and sexual choice under 
       neoliberalism; emergence and management of the HIV/AIDS 
       crisis; precariousness of lesbian and transgender concerns
       within feminist and LGBTQ movements; Non-Governmental 
       Organizations as major actors articulating sexual rights 
       as human rights. This methodologically innovative work is 
       based on archival historical research, analyses of 
       national and international policy documents, close 
       readings of activist publications, and conversations with 
       activists and founding editors. This is an important 
       intervention in the field of Gender and Sexuality Studies 
       and is the winner of the 2020 Feminist Futures, Subversive
       Histories prize in partnership with the NWSA. The book is 
       key reading for scholars and students in gender, sexuality,
       comparative literature and postcolonial studies"--
