"Defiant Desire" records the lives of lesbian and gay South
Africans of all races, lived in the face of censure, denial and
oppression, from a drag salon in Woodstock to a gay "shebeen" in
kwaThema; from a church in a Pretoria nightclub to Johannesburg's
lesbian and gay pride march; and from Afrikaans love poetry to the
new activism. "Defiant Desire" brings together South Africa's most
prominent gay and lesbian writers, activists and academics. The
contributors set out to refute beliefs that homosexuality is a
white, male or middle-class phenomenon. Their writing makes clear
and vibrant the relationship between a growing lesbian and gay
rights movement and the broader anti-apartheid struggle in a time
of transition and upheaval South Africa, and challenges its people
to build a new society that respects and cherishes all of its
citizens. "Defiant Desire" is an articulate testimony to the range
of gay and lesbian experiences in South Africa. It is both a
document of lesbian and gay struggle, and an indispensable book for
those interested in the sexual politics coursing beneath the
country's troubled passage to democracy.
