DESCRIPTION
Migration, Asylum and Diaspora Winner, ASR Best Africa-Focused Edited Collection by the African Studies Review
Drawing on diverse cases studies from the length and breadth of Africa, this collection offers the first in-depth investigation of LGBTIQ+ migration on, from, and to the African continent, and in doing so challenges notions about how and why LGBTIQ+ Africans are on the move.
Recent years have seen increased scholarly and media interest in the cross-border movements of LGBT persons, particularly those seeking protection in the Global North . While this has helped focus attention on the plight of individuals fleeing homophobic or transphobic persecution, it has also reinvigorated racist tropes about the Global South.
In the case of Africa, the expansion of anti-LGBT laws and the prevalence of hetero-patriarchal discourses are regularly cited as evidence of an inescapable savagery. The figure of the LGBT refugee – often portrayed as helplessly awaiting rescue – reinforces colonial notions about the continent and its peoples.
Queer and Trans African Mobilities draws on diverse case studies from the length and breadth of Africa, offering the first in-depth investigation of LGBT migration on and from the continent. The collection provides new insights into the drivers and impacts of displacement linked to sexual orientation or gender identity and challenges notions about why LGBT Africans move, where they are going and what they experience along the way.
