Recenzii

"Compelling and filled with rich textual and historical details, Empires of Love will alter the ways we read the cross-cultural and domestic production of both race and desire."-Emily Bartels, Rutgers University "Carmen Nocentelli's book makes important contributions to the multiple fields it embraces, from colonial studies to gender politics to comparative literature. Scholars working in all of the national traditions presented in Empires of Love will find much to think about."-Josiah Blackmore, University of Toronto
