Unique in its global and interdisciplinary scope, this collection will bring together comparative insights across European, Ottoman, Japanese, and US imperial contexts while spanning colonized spaces in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, and East and Southeast Asia. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives from cultural, intellectual and political history, anthropology, law, gender and sexuality studies, and literary criticism, The Routledge Companion to Sexuality and Colonialism combines regional and historiographic overviews with detailed case studies, making it the key reference for up-to-date scholarship on the intimate dimensions of colonial rule. Comprising more than 30 chapters by a team of international contributors, the Companion is divided into five parts:
- Directions in the study of sexuality and colonialism
- Constructing race, controlling reproduction
- Sexuality in law
- Subjects, souls, and selfhood
- Pleasure and violence.
The Routledge Companion to Sexuality and Colonialism is essential reading for students and researchers in gender, sexuality, race, global studies, world history, Indigeneity, and settler colonialism.

Her current book project examines how the age of oil and the end of empire brought renewed intervention in Caribbean intimate life. Recent articles have appeared in Radical History Review (2020), Historical Reflections/Réflexions Historiques (2019), and Gender & History (2019).
