This book addresses the ways in which law has been implicated in contemporary debates dealing with sexuality, culture, and 'different' subjects-including women, sexual minorities, Muslims, and the transnational migrant.Law is analysed as a discursive terrain wherein these different subjects are excluded or included in the postcolonial present on terms reminiscent of colonialism and its treatment of difference.Bringing a feministlegal analysis to her dicussion, Kapur is relentless in her critique of how colonial discourses, cultural essentialism, and victim rhetoric are reproduced in universal, liberal projects such as human rights and international law, as well as in the legal regulation of sexuality and culture in a postcolonial context.
