This book examines how same-sex sexualities are represented in
several post-apartheid South African cultural texts, drawing on a
rich local archive of same-sex sexualities that includes recent
fiction, drama, film, photography, and popular print culture. While
the book situates these texts within the specific context of
post-apartheid South Africa, it also looks outwards towards
transnational connectivity and cultural flows. The author uses the
idea of restlessness to refer to the uneven flow of cultural
tropes, political sentiment, ideas, ideologies, and
representational modes across geographical boundaries, across time
and space, and between genres, presenting sexual cultures as
simultaneously rooted and transnational. He focuses on how notions
of race and gender, in the shadow of colonialism and apartheid,
play out in the present and shape how sexualities are represented.
This interdisciplinary book offers a conceptual entry point to
several areas of study, including transnationalism, literary and
cultural studies, critical race theory, gender and sexuality
studies, and African studies, and will be of interest to students
and researchers across these fields. Its inclusion of a range of
textual genres extends its reach into visual culture, film and
media studies, history, and politics.
