Abstract
Linda Rae Bennett and Sharyn Graham Davies’ volume continues a long heritage of research about gender and sexuality in Indonesia. Multidisciplinary and thematically disparate, the volume as a whole is an indispensable resource for those interested in the region and the field. The 15 chapters offer snapshots from many corners of the sprawling archipelago. The editors have collaborated closely with contributors keenly attentive to everyday life to ensure that chapters are held in dialogue. In his afterword conversation with esteemed gay activist Dede Oetomo, Tom Boellstorff (p. 312) describes contemporary Indonesia as “like a steaming pot with the lid lifted off and the steam goes every which way”. The volume makes every effort to interpret this context by mining the expertise of dozens of scholars through four themes: sexual politics, sexual health, sexual diversity and sexual representations.
