About The Gay Archipelago

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 Yet the case of gay and lesbian Indonesians also compels us to ask more fundamental questions about how we decide when two things are the same or different The book thus examines the possibilities of an archipelagic perspective on sameness and difference Tom Boellstorff examines the history of homosexuality in Indonesia and then turns to how gay and lesbian identities are lived in everyday Indonesian life from questions of love desire and romance to the places where gay men and lesbian women meet He also explores the roles of mass media the state and marriage in gay and lesbian identities The Gay Archipelago is unusual in taking the whole nation state of Indonesia as its subject rather than the ethnic groups usually studied by anthropologists It is by looking at the nation in cultural terms not just political terms that identities like those of gay and lesbian Indonesians become visible and understandable In doing so this book addresses questions of sexuality mass media nationalism and modernity with implications throughout Southeast Asia and beyond
