From portrayals of African women's bodies in early modern European travel accounts to the relation between celibacy and Indian nationalism to the fate of the Korean "comfort women" forced into prostitution by the occupying Japanese army during the Second World War - the essays collected in "Bodies in Contact" demonstrate how a focus on the body as a site of cultural encounter provides essential insights into world history. Together these essays reveal the "body as contact zone" as a powerful analytic rubric for interpreting the mechanisms and legacies of colonialism and illuminating how attention to gender alters understandings of world history. Rather than privileging the operations of the Foreign Office or gentlemanly capitalists, these historical studies render the home, the street, the school, the club, and the marketplace visible as sites of imperial ideologies."Bodies in Contact" brings together important scholarship on colonial gender studies gathered from journals around the world. Breaking from approaches to world history as the history of "the West and the rest," the contributors offer a multi-centered perspective. They examine aspects of imperial regimes including the Ottoman, Mughal, Soviet, British, Han, and Spanish, over six hundred years - from the fifteenth century through the mid-twentieth.Discussing subjects as diverse as slavery and travel, ecclesiastical colonialism and military occupation, marriage and property, nationalism and football, immigration and temperance, "Bodies in Contact" puts women, gender, and sexuality squarely at the center of the "master narratives" of imperialism and world history. Contributors include Joseph S. Alter, Tony Ballantyne, Antoinette Burton, Elisa Camsicioli, Mary Ann Fay, Carter Vaughn Findley, Heidi Gengenbach, Shoshana Keller, Hyun Sook Kim, Mire Koikari, Siobhan Lambert-Hurley, Melani McAlister, Patrick McDevitt, Jennifer Morgan, Lucy Eldersveld, Murphy Rosalind, O'Hanlon, Rebecca Overmyer-Velazquez, Fiona Paisley, Adele Perry, Sean Quinlan, Mrinalini Sinha, Emma Jinhua Teng, and Julia C. Wells.
