Later Life, Sex and Intimacy in the Majority World (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu
Reviews
Description
Literature on sex, intimacy and sexuality in later life has been heavily influenced by perspectives from more affluent regions, 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, which are often overlooked. It highlights the importance of learning from non-Western cultures, dismantling stereotypes that frame them as sexually conservative or inferior. Drawing on social anthropology, postcolonial and decolonial theory, the book critically examines binaries related to culture, age, sex and intimacy, highlighting the need to decentre Western perspectives as the benchmark while other cultures and practices are misunderstood.
