While homophobia is commonly characterized as individual and personal prejudice, this collection of essays instead explores homophobia as a transnational political phenomenon. Contributors theorize homophobia as a distinct configuration of repressive state-sponsored policies and practices with their own causes, explanations, and effects on how sexualities are understood and experienced in a range of national contexts. The essays include a broad range of geographic cases, including Cameroon, Ecuador, Iran, Lebanon, Poland, Singapore, and the United States.

A cohesive yet complex account of the phenomenon of global homophobia. This impressive scholarship will be useful for scholars and students in LGBT studies, women's and gender studies, comparative political science, and political history.--Susan Burgess, author of The New York Times on Gay and Lesbian Issues
