| This book brings together activist and scholarly perspectives from different African countries on the multifaceted lived realities of LGBTIQ+ persons, exploring their experiences of violence and their resistance strategies. It examines the impact of colonial legacies, the solidarity across LGBTIQ+ communities, and the ways in which scholars and activists can connect and foster practices of solidarity. Building on the themes of violence, resistance, and solidarity, this book explores intersections of knowledge-production and -transfer between diverse scholarly and activist spheres and herewith contributes to methodological, conceptual, and normative aspects of centring LGBTIQ+ rights and lived realities in manifold African contexts. The chapters discuss the longer historical developments of homo- and transphobic bills, legislations, and de jure practices as well as their effects for LGBTIQ+ persons (until) today. They offer insights into some of the internal challenges, such as the role of parents to LGBTIQ+ children/adolescents, as well as intersectional dynamics of discrimination and invisibilization of certain identities within the LGBTIQ+ community. Finally, they also discuss practices of resistance, such as strategic litigation and transnational solidarity. | |
