British Colonialism and the Criminalization of Homosexuality
examines whether colonial rule is responsible for the historical,
and continuing, criminalization of same-sex sexual relations in
many parts of the world. Enze Han and Joseph O'Mahoney gather and
assess historical evidence to demonstrate the different ways in
which the British empire spread laws criminalizing homosexual
conduct amongst its colonies. Evidence includes case studies of
former British colonies and the common law and criminal codes like
the Indian Penal Code of 1860 and the Queensland Criminal Code of
1899. Surveying a wide range of countries, the authors scrutinise
whether ex-British colonies are more likely to have laws that
criminalize homosexual conduct than other ex-colonies or other
states in general They interrogate the claim that British
imperialism uniquely 'poisoned' societies against homosexuality,
and look at the legacies of colonialism and the politics and legal
status of homosexuality across the globe.
