This book argues that homophobia plays a fundamental role in
disputes for hegemony between antagonists during political
transitions. Examining countries not often connected in the same
research-Colombia and South Africa-the book asserts that
homophobia, as a form of gender and sexual violence, contributes to
the transformation of gender and sexual orders required by warfare
and deployed by armed groups. Anti-homosexual violence also
reinforces the creation of consensus around these projects of
change. The book considers the perspective of individuals and their
organizations, for whom such hatreds are part of the embodied
experience of violence caused by protracted conflicts and social
inequalities. Resistance to that violence are reason to mobilize
and become political actors. This book contributes to the
increasing interest in South-South comparative analyses and the
need of theory building based on case-study analyses, offering
systematic research useful for grass root organizations,
practitioners, and policy makers.
