Webbed Connectivities: The Imperial Sociology of Sex, Gender, and Sexuality by Vrushali Patil (review).

Vrushali Patil's book, "Webbed Connectivities: The Imperial Sociology of Sex, Gender, and Sexuality," challenges the Euro-centric perspective of gender and sexuality studies. Patil argues that the transnational turn in the field has produced knowledge beyond Euro-American borders but has displaced the transnational itself. She proposes the concept of "webbed connectivities" to rewire common concepts in the sociology of sex, gender, and sexuality. The book explores the historical connections between race, colonialism, and imperialism in shaping sex, gender, and sexuality. Patil's work aims to connect seemingly disparate histories and geographies and offers a blueprint for transforming contemporary field formation. [Extracted from the article]
