Neo-colonialism in Skala Eressos: Is there a home somewhere for lesbians?
Abstract
The lesbians who came to Eressos symbolise a particular neocolonialist movement, and their homosexuality has rendered them “excusable” to the broader world but they are not to be detached from the European desire for the hegemony of their culture, and the questioning and alteration of both original pilgrimages to Lesbos and modern tourism fall into the scope of de-colonial studies.
