Description

Later Life, Sex and Intimacy in the Majority World challenges this belief by exploring diverse cultures and perspectives from the majority world, which are often overlooked. It highlights the importance of learning from cultures in the global South and East, dismantling stereotypes that frame them as sexually conservative or inferior.

Drawing on structuralist, postcolonial, and decolonial theory, as well as social anthropology, the book critically examines binaries related to culture, age, sex, and intimacy. It highlights the need to decentre Western perspectives as the benchmark while other cultures and practices are misunderstood.
