Surveying colonial law, visual art practices, and contemporary activism, Gosine shows how the very concept of homosexuality in the Caribbean (and in the Americas more broadly) has been overdetermined by a colonially influenced human\/animal divide. Gosine refutes this presupposed binary and embraces animality through a series of case studies: a homoerotic game called \u003ci\u003epuhngah\u003c\/i\u003e, the institution of gender-based dress codes in Guyana, and efforts toward the decriminalization of sodomy in Trinidad and Tobago-including the work of famed activist Colin Robinson, paintings of human animality by Guadeloupean artist Kelly Sinnapah Mary, and Gosine's own artistic practice. In so doing, he troubles the ways in which individual and collective anxieties about \"wild natures\" have shaped the existence of Caribbean people while calling for a reassessment of what political liberation might look like. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuke University Press Scholars of Color First Book Award recipient\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndil Gosine is Professor of Environmental Arts and Justice at York University and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eEnvironmental Justice and Racism in Canada\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464824733949,"sku":"9781478014584","price":49.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/yvcWPV1coQ9781478014584.webp?v=1777261741","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/natures-wild-love-sex-and-law-in-the-caribbean-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
