Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power: Race and the Intimate in Colonial Rule, With a New Preface 2 Revised edition
Ann Laura Stoler
Investigates the matters of state in late 19th and early 20th century Indonesia, particularly the critical role played by sexual arrangements and affective attachments in creating colonial categories and distinguishing the ruler from the ruled. This work argues that social classification is not a benign cultural act but a potent political one.
