“Homophobias provides a much-needed perspective for bringin the reader to a more objective understanding of the mechanics of GLBT hatred and rhetoric in other times and places.” - Brian Stachowiak, The Gay and Lesbian Review/Worldwide “A major strength of this anthology is its attention to the roles of both colonialism (as a precedent of contemporary globalizing processes) and contemporary political, economic, and social changes on the development of attitudes toward sexuality and gender in postcolonial contexts.” - Amy L. Brandzel and Jara M. Carrington, Journal of Anthropological Research “[A] splendid collection of essays. . . . This book is a must for anyone interested in anthropological fieldwork methods as well as theories of homosexuality.” - Kathleen Richardson, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute “The essays bring careful attention to the conceptual pitfalls of typical understandings of homophobia and look instead for the complex cultural logics and constellation of social, political, and economic factors that undergird antihomosexual expressions. Ultimately, Homophobias invites us to rethink what we mean by ‘homophobia’ and to think more complexly about the particular, changing sources and meanings of antihomosexual phenomena.” - Karl Bryant, GLQ “Homophobias is a well-edited collection of how homophobia is captured across cultures, time, and space. It also questions how homophobia-an exclusive prejudice against homosexuals-can exist as a universal form of discrimination, and how that discrimination can exist in various forms from political emasculation to violent attacks. Homophobias serves as an important collection of works with which to move past preconceived ideas of what one thinks constitutes homophobia.” - Olupero R. Aiyenimelo, Feminist Review blog “Homophobias is a well-edited collection of how homophobia is captured across cultures, time, and space.
