African sexualities are dynamic, multi-faceted and resilient. However, people with non-heterosexual sexualities and gender variant identities are often involved in struggles for survival, self-definition, and erotic rights. Beyond identity: Queer affiliation and the politics of solidarity in Gordimers None to Accompany Me and Duikers The Quiet Violence of Dreams by Derrick HigginbothamExperiences of transgender people in Swaziland by Velile VilaneHighly interdisciplinary in nature, Queer in Africa provides a key resource for students, academics, and activists concerned with the international support of sex and gender diversity. It will appeal to those interested in fields such as anthropology, film studies, literary studies, political science, public health, sociology, and socio-legal studies. Queer in Africa forms an entry point for understanding the vulnerabilities of queer Africans as shaped by social, cultural and political processes, aiming to provide innovative insights about contentious disagreements over their lives. The volume mediates Southern and Northern scholarship, directing attention toward African-centred beliefs made accessible to a wide audience. Key concerns such as identity construction and the intersections between different social forces (such as nationalist traditionalism and sexualities) are addressed via engaging chapters; some empirically based and others providing critical cultural analysis Introduction by VASU REDDY, SURYA MONRO, AND ZETHU MATEBENI *** African studies: non-normative genders and sexualities *** The human and the non-human: African sexuality debate and symbolisms of transgression by SENAYON OLAOLUWA *** Creaturely lives and sexual exposure in African prison writing by TAIWO ADETUNJI OSINUBI *** ‘She who creates havoc is here’: a queer bisexual reading of sexuality, dance, and social critique in Karmen Geï by CHERYL STOBIE *** Moving beyond and between identity categories *** Beyond identity: queer affiliation and the politics of solidarity in Gordimer’s None to Accompany Me and Duiker’s The Quiet Violence of Dreams by DERRICK HIGGINBOTHAM *** ‘Queer/white’ in South Africa: a troubling oxymoron? by JANE BENNETT *** Practices of non-heterosexual masculinities among MSM in Nigeria by ABISOLA BALOGUN AND PAUL BISSELL *** Citizenship, activism, and human rights *** Lesbian students in the academy: invisible, assimilated, or ignored? by MARY HAMES *** Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) forced migrants and asylum seekers: multiple discriminations by GUILLAIN KOKO, SURYA MONRO, AND KATE SMITH *** Experiences of transgender people in Swaziland by VELILE VILANE |
