A Political Biography of the Indonesian Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans Movement
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-42280-3 (ISBN)
Saskia Wieringa tracks the movement’s progress and explores the persistence of the butch/femme model of relationships; the proliferations of identities; family violence and conversion therapy; religion; and the anti-LGBT campaign. In its insistence on the local dynamics of this movement, the book aims to debunk the idea that homosexuality is a Western import. Chapters deal with the many religious and secular phenomena that are linked with gender diversity and same-sex relations traditionally, and the erasure of many of these traditions is explained using the concept of postcolonial amnesia. A Political Biography of the Indonesian Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans Movement is also a contribution to the growing literature on decolonization studies, pointing out that its dynamics, its historical course and its present condition, different as they are from the dominant Western view on a global LGBT movement, needs to be considered as valuable as accounts of Western LGBT histories are.
Saskia E. Wieringa is Honorary Emerita Professor of Gender and Women’s Same-Sex Relations Crossculturally at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Wieringa is co-editor of The Sexual History of the Global South (Zed Books, 2013).
