Description

Erotic Islands by Lyndon K. Gill explores queer history and activism across the Caribbean, with particular focus on Trinidad and Tobago. This transdisciplinary work maps a long queer presence through the cultural lenses of Carnival, calypso, and the HIV/AIDS crisis. Building on Audre Lorde's foundational theory of the erotic, Gill examines how lesbian and gay artists and activists have used eros as a political, sensual, and spiritual framework for understanding self and society. The book brings together the stories of legendary musician Calypso Rose, renowned mas artist Peter Minshall, and HIV/AIDS activists, weaving their work into a broader narrative about resistance, creativity, and queer Caribbean life. Published by Duke University Press, this scholarly yet accessible volume combines cultural analysis, historical documentation, and theoretical innovation to challenge dominant narratives and centre queer Caribbean voices in conversations about art, activism, and social change.
