Robert Aldrich reconstructs the context of a number of liaisons, including those of famous men such as Cecil Rhodes, E.M. Forster or André Gide, and the historical situations which produced both the Europeans and their non-Western lovers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColonial lands, which in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century included most of Africa, South and Southeast Asia and the islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans and the Caribbean, provided a haven for many Europeans whose sexual inclinations did not fit neatly into the constraints of European society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of the case-studies is a micro-history of a particular colonial situation, a sexual encounter, and its wider implications for cultural and political life.
