- More about Later Life, Sex and Intimacy in the Majority World
Literature on sex, intimacy, and sexuality in later life has been influenced by Western perspectives, perpetuating the belief that the West is more sexually progressive and liberal than other cultures. This book challenges this belief by exploring diverse cultures and perspectives from the majority world, highlighting the importance of learning from cultures in the global South and East and dismantling stereotypes that frame them as sexually conservative or inferior.
Format: Hardback
Length: 244 pages
Publication date: 22 July 2024
Publisher: Bristol University Press
Literature on sex, intimacy, and sexuality in later life has been significantly shaped by perspectives from more affluent regions, perpetuating the notion that the West is more sexually progressive and liberal than other cultures. This book challenges this belief by exploring diverse cultures and perspectives from the majority world, which are often overlooked. It emphasizes the importance of learning from cultures in the global South and East, dismantling stereotypes that frame them as sexually conservative or inferior. Drawing on structuralist, postcolonial, and decolonial theory as well as social anthropology, the book critically examines binaries related to culture, age, sex, and intimacy, highlighting the need to decenter Western perspectives as the benchmark while other cultures and practices are misunderstood.
