Description

Gibson Ncube and Princess Sibanda's collection analyzes how queer individuals in Africa use social media to reclaim their narratives, challenge stereotypes, and increase their visibility.

The contributors center African epistemologies and examines queer lived experiences through queer Pan-African discourse. They look at African queerness in relation to unruly bodies, investigate rebuttals of queerness as unAfrican, and examine queerness in the African Diaspora.
