Interview Episode -Dr. Rahul Rao - Queer Politics of Postcoloniality
Update: 2021-02-15
Description
On the surface, Dr. Rahul Rao's book is about the anti-homosexuality law which was debated between 2009 and 2014 in the Ugandan parliament and its links to US evangelical Christian activists as well as its relationship with colonial law. The book also looks at similar dynamics in postcolonial India and other parts of the world where sexuality is more than a personal issue, but one of major political significance. However, at a deeper level, the book is about how even sexuality, perhaps one of the most personal aspects of our lives, is not only political but geopolitical. I speak here about the book and Rahul's thoughts about queer theory's relationship with feminist theory - and about what inspired him to write the book.
