Homosexuality. Lesbians. Gay rights. Homophobia. These terms have
come up quite a bit in recent years in Africa to the shock,
embarrassment and even anger of many people. This book is about
that, and about the coming out (into public view) of individuals
who in the past tended to keep a low pro?le. What does the history
of homosexuality and the reactions against it tell us about African
history in general? And how might this knowledge help us in
struggles against HIV/AIDS, gender violence and other social
inequalities in contemporary Africa? Based on Marc Epprecht's
award-winning monograph Hungochani: the history of a dissident
sexuality in southern Africa, along with creative contributions
from other pioneering scholars in the field Unspoken Facts offers a
sympathetic portrayal of the lives of people who do not conform to
society's dominant expectations in terms of love and marriage.
Additional material includes several fictionalised accounts of
same-sex relationships in southern Africa.
