Working Class Homosexuality in South African History provides the
first scholarly outline for the development of a narrative of
same-sex working class African men. The book’s core analytic
thrust centres around a previously unpublished primary source from
the early twentieth century as well as unique oral history
interviews with men remembering their lives in the gay settlement
of Mkhumbane. While South Africa’s Bill of Rights provides
constitutional protection for the right of any person to choose her
or his own sexual preferences, this has not prevented violent and
even murderous assaults on members of the growing and increasingly
vocal LGBTI community. Given the dearth of published works on South
African’s gay communities and reasoned public discussion as well
as the recent controversy over the film Inxeba, there is
considerable urgency in confronting entrenched bigotry, prejudice,
and homophobia. Working Class Homosexuality in South African
History inspires South Africans to reimagine an inclusive sense of
the past as well as the future.
