The Great Refusal: The Global Politics of Homosexuality

by former Junior Fellow Jason Ferguson

In The Great Refusal, former Junior Fellow Jason Ferguson (2021 - 23, 2024 - 25) examines what happens when pro-gay Western forces intervene in the sexual politics of countries around the world, especially in the postcolonial Global South. He finds that these interventions have unintended consequences, as the global clashes with the local.
