Drawing from the diverse fields of postcolonial studies, literary
studies, history, anthropology, sociology, political science,
environmental studies, and development studies, among others,
Gender and Sexuality in Senegalese Societies demonstrates the
urgency and necessity of new research in gender and queer studies
in and on Senegalese societies. By focusing on subjects that have
thus far been largely neglected in national and scholarly debates,
the chapters are subversive, complex, and inclusive, centering
within Senegalese studies themes and elements of alternative,
nonbinary, variant, and nonheteronormative gender identities,
sexualities, and voices. Contributors demonstrate that nationalist
and anticolonial discourses propelled by deep and lingering
socioeconomic inequalities have led, in postcolonial Senegal, to
vitriolic scapegoating of individuals and communities with variant
sexual and gender identities. The chapters in this volume look
inward to the voices and experiences of the Senegalese people to
challenge nationalist representations of advocacy for the
liberation of gender and sexual minorities in Senegal as a function
of a Western neocolonialist agenda.
