Inhalt
There have been few book-length engagements with the question of sexuality in Africa, let alone African homosexuality. This book simultaneously responds to the public debate on the »Africanness« of homosexuality and interrogates the meaningfulness of the terms »sexuality« and »homosexuality« outside of the Euro-American discourse. Speculating on cultural practices interpreted by missionaries as sodomy and resistance to colonialism, the author begins by analyzing the 1886 Bugandan martyrs incident - the execution of 30 men in the royal court. Then he addresses questions of race, sex, and globalization in the 1965 novel »The Interpreters«, examines the emblematic 1998 Lambeth conference of Anglican bishops, considers the imperial legacy in depictions of the HIV/AIDS crisis, and reveals how a South African writer problematizes notions of African identity and cosmopolitanism.
