| Tommy boys, lesbian men and ancestral wives is written by Ruth Morgan and Saskia Wieringa on lesbian lifestyles in Africa. This unique book documents same-sex sexuality in East and southern Africa and has been co-authored by women activists spanning six countries. These personal narratives vividly document a range of issues relating to sex and secrecy - an incredibly difficult area to research as many African leaders declare it taboo on the basis that these practices are alien to African culture and are an import from the depraved West. "We, lesbian women, are born here in Africa, we belong here. Who can say we are un-African?" Cultuur |
