Black lesbian sexualities and identity is a multifaceted in-depth
ethnographic study of black urban lesbian life in contemporary
South Africa. It speaks to current concerns, which raise questions
related to the politics of inclusion/exclusion, love, sexuality,
identity politics, violence, style and urban space while
sensitively giving agency to women's narratives. In many ways, it
enriches and challenges conventional gay and lesbian studies and
studies on sexuality in Africa by bringing meaning to the complex
interplay between space, style, erotic practice and sexuality. It
further illustrates the flexible practices and variable notions of
sex, sexuality and gender categories. At the same time it tackles
the precarious and painful position of black lesbian women whose
narratives show that they inhabit the world actively, not only as
victims, but also as conscious subjects who make meanings of their
lives.
