Description
Résumé:The Gay Archipelago is the first book-length exploration of the lives of gay men in Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous nation and home to more Muslims than any other country. Based on a range of field methods, it explores how Indonesian gay and lesbian identities are shaped by nationalism and globalization.

The book thus examines the possibilities of an ""archipelagic"" perspective on sameness and difference.</p
