South Africa remains a global leader in the legislative protection
of individuals who engage in same-sex relations, and is the only
country in Africa where the rights of these individuals are
explicitly recognized and protected by the constitution. Yet South
Africa's identities are still contested and evolving, particularly
for same-sex desiring teachers - many are forced to locate their
sexualities privately for fear of being ostracized, bullied or
losing their jobs, resulting in the miseducation of young people in
schools. This volume reveals the various ways in which black South
African male teachers construct their sexual and professional
identities, how they accommodate structural dictates while
simultaneously resisting them, and the effect this has on students.
Presenting the day-to-day experiences of eight same-sex desiring
teachers within repressive contexts, this volume challenges the
Western origins and assumptions of queer theory, particularly its
inability to confront communal forms of social organizing and its
focus on individual agency. It asks for more socially responsive
theorizing that takes into account the role played by location,
race, class, gender and sexual identification within South African
and international contexts.
