Islamic Homosexualities: Culture, History, and Literature is a collection of essays edited by Stephen O. Murray and Will Roscoe and published in 1997 by New York University Press. The editors argued that students of the Middle East who originated from all countries have avoided giving attention to homosexual acts, so therefore they had the book made to give attention to the practices. The book's stated purposes were to state "the conceptions and organizations of homosexual desire and conduct in Islamic societies" and "to counter the pronounced Eurocentrism of recent research on homosexuality". The book's central argument is "treating the patterns of homosexuality we find in Islamic societies as categorically distinct from all aspects of modern homosexual identity and lifestyles reinforces

  • Islamic Homosexualities: Culture, History, and Literature is a collection of essays edited by Stephen O. Murray and Will Roscoe and published in 1997 by New York University Press. The editors argued that students of the Middle East who originated from all countries have avoided giving attention to homosexual acts, so therefore they had the book made to give attention to the practices. The book's stated purposes were to state "the conceptions and organizations of homosexual desire and conduct in Islamic societies" and "to counter the pronounced Eurocentrism of recent research on homosexuality". The book's central argument is "treating the patterns of homosexuality we find in Islamic societies as categorically distinct from all aspects of modern homosexual identity and lifestyles reinforces the conceits of Eurocentrism". Both editors were not Middle Eastern specialists but were North American and Latin American specialists. Bruce Dunne of the Lambda Book Report wrote that the book argued that premodern LGBT groups in the Middle East are "progressive" and "modern" as much as the modern LGBT identities are. Didi Khayatt of York University stated her belief that "the authors' need to find Islamic homosexualities either similar to or different from Western notions of corresponding sexual practices is in line with the very critique they want to avoid." Steven C. Caton of the New School for Social Research argued that "Eurocentrism" was not properly used, since the word should refer to a view that Europe is central to the world, and that it may be Eurocentric to look for LGBT sexualities of the European style in the Islamic world. Dunne stated that this book was aimed at both academic and general audiences. (en)
  • Homossexualidades Islâmicas: Cultura, História e Literatura (em inglês Islamic Homosexualities: Culture, History, and Literature) é uma colecção de ensaios editados por Stephen O. Murray e Will Roscoe, publicados em 1997 pela editorial New York University Press. Os editores começaram o estudo ao percatarse de que o alumnado do Oriente Médio não se fixava nos actos homossexuais, pelo que o livro pretendia prestar atenção em essas práticas. O propósito era expor as diferentes concepções e organizações de conduta e desejo homossexual nas sociedades islâmicas e para neutralizar o excessivo eurocentrismo na investigação sobre a homossexualidade. O argumento central do livro é tratar os padrões de homossexualidade encontradas nas sociedades islâmicas que são completamente diferentes de todos os aspectos da identidade homossexual moderna e os estilos de vida ocidentais.
