About this book

David A. J. Richards contends that ethical opposition to British imperial rule is tied closely to the ethical recognition of gay rights. Both, he suggests, grew out of opposition to rigid and patriarchal ideas of manhood and womanhood.

The book examines the roots of liberal resistance in Britain alongside resistance to patriarchy in the United States. Its argument is that fighting the demands of patriarchal gender roles helped to counter imperialism as well.

Scholars of political philosophy, the history of sexuality and the British Empire will find the book most relevant.
