Different Rainbows, edited by Peter Drucker
Drucker, Peter (ed.). (2000). Different Rainbows. London: Gay Men's Press.
Although the writings date mostly from the mid-1990s, they are very well done and should be a good starting point for research on contemporary conditions in the regions addressed, which include Mexico, Brazil, Nicaragua, and Latin American in general; South Africa, Kenya, Southeast Asia, and China.
Most chapters include references to pre-modern history in the region as well as contemporary conditions. A recurring theme is the limitation of defining LGBTQ life in terms of U.S. and European experiences. The introduction and conclusion deal clearly and directly with such issues.
Pete owns a copy. Available in the SF Public Library.

Tin, Louis-Georges. (2008). The Dictionary of Homophobia: A Global History of Gay & Lesbian Experience. Vancouver: Arsenal Pulp Press. Translated by Marek Redburn. Originally published in French in 2003. 495 pages.
Definitely a French and European bias, but also includes articles on other places of the world. An excellent starting point for student research on any topic that it addresses. See pages 22-24 for list of topics.
Available at the SF Public Library. Should keep a copy on hand for classroom reference. Available at Amazon.
