SOCIOLOGY/LGBT
"Out in Africa is
an
extremely important book. Ashley Currier broadly addresses
factors influencing mobilization of LGBT movements within sub-Saharan
Africa at the local, national, and international levels. She further extends exist¬
ing literature on social movements, identity, and development by examining the
prospects of mobilization among disadvantaged groups within newly democra¬
tized developing countries."
-Kathleen M.
Fallon,
author of Democracy and the Rise of Women's
Movements in Sub-Saharan Africa
Out in Africa is the first book to present an intimate look at how Namibian
and South African lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) organiza¬
tions have cultivated visibility and invisibility as strategies. It reveals the com¬
plexities of the LGBT movements in both countries as these organizations
make use of Western terminology and notions of identity to gain funding even
as they work to counter the perception that they are "un-African."
Different sociopolitical conditions in Namibia and South Africa affected how
activists in each country campaigned for LGBT rights between
1995
and
2006.
Focusing on this period, Ashley Currier shows how, in Namibia, LGBT
activists struggled against ruling party leaders' homophobic rhetoric and how,
at the same time, black LGBT citizens of South Africa, though enjoying con¬
stitutional protections, greater visibility, and heightened activism, nonetheless
confronted homophobic violence because of their gender and sexual noncon¬
formity. As it tells the story of the evolving political landscape in
postapartheid
Namibia and South Africa, Out in Africa situates these countries' movements
in relation to developments in pan-African LGBT organizing and offers broader
insights into visibility as a social movement strategy rather than simply as a
static outcome of political organizing. |
