From the rear cover
The sexual attitudes and activities of the men who ran the British empire are the subject of this pioneering book, which makes plain the pervasive importance of sexuality both for individuals and as a general dynamic, crucial to the way the whole imperial system worked. Basic psychosexual concepts are analysed, individual sexual imperatives are illuminated, the chronology of sexual opportunity in the Victorian home base is established, the way in which the empire provided an enlarged field of sexual opportunity is described, and the impact on race relations is assessed. There is also an account of the missionary attempt to alter indigenous sexual practices, and of the Edwardian Purity-mongers' successful campaign against sexual interaction between rulers and ruled.
Based on a large and varied secondary literature and original research, this humanely written study should appeal to a wide range of readers interested in the way the British have handled their sexuality, as well as those with a more specialised interest in how the empire was run.Details
