Abstract: Subaltern Studies: Writings on Indian History and Society began in 1982 as a series of interventions in some debates specific to the writing of modern Indian history1 Ranajit Guha (b 1923), a historian of India then teaching at the University of Sussex, was the inspiration behind it Guha and eight younger scholars based in India, the United Kingdom, and Australia constituted the editorial collective of Subaltern Studies until 1988, when Guha retired from the team2 The series now has a global presence that goes well beyond India or South Asia as an area of academic specialization The intellectual reach of Subaltern Studies now also exceeds that of the discipline of history Postcolonial theorists of diverse disciplinary backgrounds have taken interest in the series Much discussed, for instance, are theways inwhich contributors toSubaltern Studies have participated in contemporary critiques of history and nationalism, and of orientalism and Eurocentrism in the construction of social science knowledge At the same time, there have also been discussions of Subaltern Studies in many history and social science journals3 Selections from the series have been published in English, Spanish, Bengali, andHindi and are in the process of being brought out in Tamil and Japanese4 A Latin American Subaltern Studies Association was established in North America in 19925 It would not be unfair to say that the expression “subaltern studies,” once the name of a series of publications in Indian history, now stands as a general designation for a field of studies often seen as a close relative of postcolonialism

TL;DR: The authors examines how the very categories of colonizer and colonizer were increasingly secured through forms of sexual control which defined the common political interests of European colonials and the cultural investments by which they identified themselves.
Abstract: With sustained challenges to European rule in African and Asian colonies in the early 20th century, sexual prescriptions by class, race and gender became increasingly central to the politics of rule and subject to new forms of scrutiny by colonial states. Focusing on the Netherlands Indies and French Indochina, but drawing on other contexts, this article examines how the very categories of “colonizer” and “colonized” were increasingly secured through forms of sexual control which defined the common political interests of European colonials and the cultural investments by which they identified themselves. The metropolitan and colonial discourses on health, “racial degeneracy,” and social reform from this period reveal how sexual sanctions demarcated positions of power by enforcing middle-class conventions of respectability and thus the personal and public boundaries of race.[sexuality, race-thinking, hygiene, colonial cultures, Southeast Asia]
