Sexuality and Social Justice in Africa: Rethinking Homophobia and Forging Resistance

Sexuality and Social Justice in Africa: Rethinking Homophobia and Forging Resistance(2013) by Marc Epprecht offers a critical analysis of sexuality and LGBTQ+ rights in Africa. Epprecht challenges the narrative that homophobia is inherent to African cultures, instead highlighting the roles of colonialism, religion, and politics in shaping modern attitudes toward homosexuality. The book explores the work of African activists and organizations that resist homophobia and advocate for sexual rights. Through a mix of historical and contemporary examples, Epprecht encourages a more nuanced understanding of sexual diversity on the continent and emphasizes the importance of social justice and resistance.Marc Epprecht – Sexuality and Social Justice in Africa_ Rethinking Homophobia and Forging Resistance-Zed Books (2013)(1)
