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.
