In Nature's Wild, Andil Gosine engages with questions of humanism,
queer theory, and animality to examine and revise understandings of
queer desire in the Caribbean. Surveying colonial law, visual art
practices, and contemporary activism, Gosine shows how the very
concept of homosexuality in the Caribbean (and in the Americas more
broadly) has been overdetermined by a colonially influenced
human/animal divide. Gosine refutes this presupposed binary and
embraces animality through a series of case studies: a homoerotic
game called puhngah, the institution of gender-based dress codes in
Guyana, and efforts toward the decriminalization of sodomy in
Trinidad and Tobago-including the work of famed activist Colin
Robinson, paintings of human animality by Guadeloupean artist Kelly
Sinnapah Mary, and Gosine's own artistic practice. In so doing, he
troubles the ways in which individual and collective anxieties
about "wild natures" have shaped the existence of Caribbean people
while calling for a reassessment of what political liberation might
look like. Duke University Press Scholars of Color First Book Award
