same-sex practices from the past, we probe the kinds of discursive protocols that can be implemented to uncover queer African archives, defined as methods and movements. In this process, we reconceptualize a transnational queer archive that remains vigilant against dominant taxonomies and actively connected to its political present and future. Because queer African subjects are (dis)located at the junction of multiple sociocultural traditions and geographies, we approach the queer African archive as both an elusive and dynamic site of knowledge production that calls for cross-disciplinary methodologies.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="72349194"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="72349194"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 72349194; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=72349194]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=72349194]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 72349194; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='72349194']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=72349194]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":72349194,"title":"Querying Queer African Archives: Methods and Movements","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/72349194/Querying_Queer_African_Archives_Methods_and_Movements","owner_id":9198258,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":9198258,"first_name":"Ashley","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Currier","page_name":"AshleyCurrier","domain_name":"uc","created_at":"2014-02-16T05:33:02.703-08:00","display_name":"Ashley Currier","url":"https://uc.academia.edu/AshleyCurrier"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="42332679"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/42332679/Prison_same_sex_sexualities_in_the_context_of_politicized_homophobia_in_Malawi"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Prison same-sex sexualities in the context of politicized homophobia in Malawi" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/62489875/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/42332679/Prison_same_sex_sexualities_in_the_context_of_politicized_homophobia_in_Malawi">Prison same-sex sexualities in the context of politicized homophobia in Malawi</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Sexualities</span><span>, 2020</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Prison same-sex sexualities have largely gone unnoticed in Malawi, an African nation associated w...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Prison same-sex sexualities have largely gone unnoticed in Malawi, an African nation associated with politicized homophobia. The term 'politicized homophobia' refers to political elites' public hostility toward same-sex sexualities, gender variance, and gender and sexual diversity activism. In a context typified by scrutiny of same-sex sexualities, it is surprising that certain same-sex sexual practices, specifically prison same-sex sexualities, escaped rebuke and attention in news media, which play an important role in circulating discourses of politicized homophobia in contemporary African nations. Using the case of prison sex in Malawi, this article asserts that politicized homophobia has verifiable limits because not all negative discourses about same-sex sexualities agglomerate into politicized homophobia. The essay draws on an analysis of 109 Malawian newspaper articles published between 1995 and 2016 that mention prison sex.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f3ca0adc140b984aa22e31d15c07b9cd" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":62489875,"asset_id":42332679,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/62489875/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="42332679"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="42332679"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 42332679;

Yet uneven support for the rescission of antisodomy laws in other African countries remains. In this essay, we treat the retention of antisodomy laws in Namibia as an unwanted colonial legacy that serves as a reminder of the unfinished business of decolonization. We explore how politicized homophobia in Namibia functions as a state tool by continually reinscribing inherited antisodomy laws to promote a heteronorma-tive future. We explore why these laws remain on the books in spite of the government's policy of nonenforcement and consider their impact on the male prison population. Finally, we consider decolonization as a potential tool for collective mobilization in Namibia.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="0343c2182791fa13ba631e2601e1384b" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":62067208,"asset_id":41944507,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/62067208/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="41944507"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="41944507"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 41944507;

However, this work remains limited in its treatment of the rise of political homophobia and mobilisation against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights. This article redirects such research by concentrating on the indigenous origins of mobilisation against LGBT rights in Liberia. Focusing on the efforts of the New Citizens Movement (NCM), an antigay movement organisation, we outline how NCM pursued a 'politics of preemption' to prevent pro-LGBT rights legislation and organisation from taking root in the country. By 'politics of preemption', we mean mobilisation intended to ensure that another movement's imagined future does not materialise. The politics of preemption captures a little-understood feature of the dynamics of opposing movements: mobilisation to preempt the rise of another social movement. We analyse semi-structured interviews we conducted with 45 Liberians, including anti-LGBT activists and supporters and pro-LGBT activists and supporters, and dozens of articles from Liberian newspapers to trace NCM's politics of preemption as a strategy used by opposing movements.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="8c758f1f2d0dfb04d38965b30bddd61f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":57364963,"asset_id":37401384,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/57364963/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="37401384"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="37401384"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 37401384;

In Malawi, one such context, we examine how an LGBTIQ social movement organization (SMO) in Malawi, the Centre for the Development of People (CEDEP), navigated one particular strategic dilemma—the dilemma of whether to adopt a less politicized public-health approach or a more nimble, grassroots-oriented, and social-justice approach to their advocacy work—and the consequences of the organization’s strategic decisions. Scholars interpret these approaches as signifying differential political engagement among organizations, with the social-justice approach indicating political engagement and the public-health approach signaling political disengagement. This difference has led critics to argue that a public-health approach is poorly suited to generating social and legal reform because it depoliticizes LGBTIQ issues over time, while a social-justice approach exerts constant pressure on political and religious elites. Drawing on qualitative interview data with Malawian LGBTIQ activists and news media data reflecting public debate around homosexuality in the country, we illuminate how this SMO metamorphosed from an organization ostensibly focused only on public health and HIV/AIDS to one that advances social justice for gender and sexual dissidents and argue for an understanding of the indigenous development of a hybrid strategy integrating the public-health and social-justice approaches.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="28772868"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="28772868"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 28772868;

Third, African gender and sexual diversity movements disrupt the notion that queer movements are “identity movements,” an argument that overlooks gender and sexual diversity organizations’ survival efforts.

LGBT activists in Namibia and South Africa voluntarily included transgender rights and persons in the movement beginning in the mid-1990s, yet few constituents identified as transgender. Transgender invisibility in these movements indicates the discrepancy between collective and lived personal identities. Drawing on ethnographic observation of Namibian and South African LGBT activist organizations in 2005–06 and fifty-six interviews with LGBT activists, the article analyzes the contours of transgender invisibility within the Namibian and South African LGBT movements. A focus on transgender invisibility in LGBT movement organizations in Namibia and South Africa illuminates the uneven reception of identity terms and the identity work that LGBT activists in southern Africa perform to encourage constituents to align personal identities with prevailing collective-identity terms.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="a1aac60bfaf1c6a4507d05212f0858d3" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":43989647,"asset_id":12510769,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/43989647/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="12510769"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="12510769"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12510769;

African lesbians and gay men fear being arrested and imprisoned for violating laws prohibiting same-sex sexual relationships. In addition, African LGBT rights activists confront antigay hostility from political, religious, and traditional leaders. Activists championing unpopular causes, such as LGBT rights, sometimes benefit from forging solidary partnerships with sympathetic bystanders or social movements. In different African nations, LGBT activist organizations have formed partnerships with HIV/AIDS, human rights, and women’s rights movements. However, sympathizers can experience steep costs for supporting LGBT rights organizations. In 2010, Malawian state leaders began politicizing homosexuality, denouncing LGBT rights activism. Using the case of contemporary LGBT rights organizing in Malawi, I track the obstacles that prevent HIV/AIDS, human rights, and women’s rights organizations from supporting LGBT rights. In this environment, political homophobia ensnares not only LGBT activist organizations, but also HIV/AIDS, human rights, and women’s rights movement organizations. Drawing on 52 interviews I conducted with feminist, HIV/AIDS, human rights, and LGBT activists in Malawi in mid-2012, I probe how political homophobia polarized civil society and hampered the campaigns of different social movement organizations. My research demonstrates how political homophobia creates divisions among African social movements.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="12176432"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="12176432"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12176432; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=12176432]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=12176432]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12176432; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='12176432']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=12176432]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":12176432,"title":"Arrested Solidarity: Obstacles to Intermovement Support for LGBT Rights in Malawi","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/12176432/Arrested_Solidarity_Obstacles_to_Intermovement_Support_for_LGBT_Rights_in_Malawi","owner_id":9198258,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":9198258,"first_name":"Ashley","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Currier","page_name":"AshleyCurrier","domain_name":"uc","created_at":"2014-02-16T05:33:02.703-08:00","display_name":"Ashley Currier","url":"https://uc.academia.edu/AshleyCurrier"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="12176521"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/12176521/Civil_Society_and_Sexual_Struggles_in_Africa"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Civil Society and Sexual Struggles in Africa" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/49191705/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/12176521/Civil_Society_and_Sexual_Struggles_in_Africa">Civil Society and Sexual Struggles in Africa</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--coauthors"><span>by </span><span><a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://uc.academia.edu/AshleyCurrier">Ashley Currier</a> and <a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://colorado.academia.edu/JoelleCruz">Joelle Cruz</a></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Questions of sexuality often remain peripheral to both the agendas of African civil society organ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Questions of sexuality often remain peripheral to both the agendas of African civil society organizations (CSOs) and those who study civil society operations in different African nations. However, in the last two decades, political and religious leaders in a number of African nations have attacked sexual diversity. In response to the threats of state repression against gender and sexual minorities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Africans have formed activist organizations to support LGBT constituents and to promote gender and sexual minority rights as human rights. This chapter explores the form and content of contemporary African “sexual diversity struggles,” a term that refers to efforts to defend gender and sexual dissidence and to promote laws and policies that affirm gender and sexual diversity. This chapter contextualizes the rise of sexual diversity struggles throughout Africa and profiles the involvement of different civil society actors such as LGBT movement organizations, HIV/AIDS nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), women’s rights NGOs, and faith-based NGOs, in these struggles. Different CSOs lobby lawmakers to decriminalize same-sex sexualities, shelter gender and sexual minorities from hostile opponents, and develop local and transnational networks of sympathetic bystanders, lawmakers, foreign donors, and diplomats. This chapter pays particular attention to the transnational dimensions of African sexual diversity struggles and how local CSOs navigate the tensions and rewards that accompany transnational advocacy around LGBT rights.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="5bffdad341e836d0bcf9d56ea62d2204" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":49191705,"asset_id":12176521,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/49191705/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="12176521"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="12176521"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12176521;

We analyze two divergent accounts of unwanted sex offered by two gay Malawian men the first author interviewed in 2012. Feminist and queer theoretical insights about representing the agency of African gender and sexual minorities guide our inquiry. Our analysis shows how activist socialisation can intervene in and reshape how African sexual minority men perceive and name unwanted and/or coercive sex.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="dff0161a560021935921502e0584a728" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":43989545,"asset_id":12176488,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/43989545/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="12176488"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="12176488"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12176488;

In this article, I treat Namibian gender and sexual diversity organizing as a decolonization movement contesting SWAPO’s grip over the trajectory of decolonization. To illustrate how gender and sexuality movements operate as decolonization movements, I analyze how feminist and LGBT activists have responded to SWAPO leaders’ political homophobia since 1995. I draw on an analysis of twenty-eight in-person, qualitative interviews with Namibian LGBT activists and four months of ethnographic observation of the activities of Sister Namibia, a feminist organization, and The Rainbow Project, an LGBT movement organization, that I conducted in 2006. I also analyzed 338 Namibian newspaper articles published between 1995 and 2010 that mention homosexuality, antihomosexual sentiments, or LGBT activism.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="aa20c2113e0b348e5f1449ac67b869a7" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":43990675,"asset_id":6095052,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/43990675/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="6095052"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="6095052"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 6095052;

The term 'politicized homophobia' refers to political elites' public hostility toward same-sex sexualities, gender variance, and gender and sexual diversity activism. In a context typified by scrutiny of same-sex sexualities, it is surprising that certain same-sex sexual practices, specifically prison same-sex sexualities, escaped rebuke and attention in news media, which play an important role in circulating discourses of politicized homophobia in contemporary African nations. Using the case of prison sex in Malawi, this article asserts that politicized homophobia has verifiable limits because not all negative discourses about same-sex sexualities agglomerate into politicized homophobia. The essay draws on an analysis of 109 Malawian newspaper articles published between 1995 and 2016 that mention prison sex.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f3ca0adc140b984aa22e31d15c07b9cd" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":62489875,"asset_id":42332679,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/62489875/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="42332679"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="42332679"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 42332679;

Yet uneven support for the rescission of antisodomy laws in other African countries remains. In this essay, we treat the retention of antisodomy laws in Namibia as an unwanted colonial legacy that serves as a reminder of the unfinished business of decolonization. We explore how politicized homophobia in Namibia functions as a state tool by continually reinscribing inherited antisodomy laws to promote a heteronorma-tive future. We explore why these laws remain on the books in spite of the government's policy of nonenforcement and consider their impact on the male prison population. Finally, we consider decolonization as a potential tool for collective mobilization in Namibia.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="0343c2182791fa13ba631e2601e1384b" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":62067208,"asset_id":41944507,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/62067208/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="41944507"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="41944507"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 41944507;

However, this work remains limited in its treatment of the rise of political homophobia and mobilisation against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights. This article redirects such research by concentrating on the indigenous origins of mobilisation against LGBT rights in Liberia. Focusing on the efforts of the New Citizens Movement (NCM), an antigay movement organisation, we outline how NCM pursued a 'politics of preemption' to prevent pro-LGBT rights legislation and organisation from taking root in the country. By 'politics of preemption', we mean mobilisation intended to ensure that another movement's imagined future does not materialise. The politics of preemption captures a little-understood feature of the dynamics of opposing movements: mobilisation to preempt the rise of another social movement. We analyse semi-structured interviews we conducted with 45 Liberians, including anti-LGBT activists and supporters and pro-LGBT activists and supporters, and dozens of articles from Liberian newspapers to trace NCM's politics of preemption as a strategy used by opposing movements.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="8c758f1f2d0dfb04d38965b30bddd61f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":57364963,"asset_id":37401384,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/57364963/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="37401384"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="37401384"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 37401384;

In Malawi, one such context, we examine how an LGBTIQ social movement organization (SMO) in Malawi, the Centre for the Development of People (CEDEP), navigated one particular strategic dilemma—the dilemma of whether to adopt a less politicized public-health approach or a more nimble, grassroots-oriented, and social-justice approach to their advocacy work—and the consequences of the organization’s strategic decisions. Scholars interpret these approaches as signifying differential political engagement among organizations, with the social-justice approach indicating political engagement and the public-health approach signaling political disengagement. This difference has led critics to argue that a public-health approach is poorly suited to generating social and legal reform because it depoliticizes LGBTIQ issues over time, while a social-justice approach exerts constant pressure on political and religious elites. Drawing on qualitative interview data with Malawian LGBTIQ activists and news media data reflecting public debate around homosexuality in the country, we illuminate how this SMO metamorphosed from an organization ostensibly focused only on public health and HIV/AIDS to one that advances social justice for gender and sexual dissidents and argue for an understanding of the indigenous development of a hybrid strategy integrating the public-health and social-justice approaches.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="28772868"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="28772868"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 28772868;

We analyze two divergent accounts of unwanted sex offered by two gay Malawian men the first author 10 interviewed in 2012. Feminist and queer theoretical insights about representing the agency of African gender and sexual minorities guide our inquiry. Our analysis shows how activist socialisation can intervene in and reshape how African sexual minority men perceive and name unwanted and/or coercive sex. 15 30</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="4e631b8792d0b83da4ac4e11c91752e3" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":49191645,"asset_id":25917706,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/49191645/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="25917706"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="25917706"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 25917706; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=25917706]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=25917706]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 25917706; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='25917706']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "4e631b8792d0b83da4ac4e11c91752e3" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=25917706]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":25917706,"title":"When Rape Goes Unnamed","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/25917706/When_Rape_Goes_Unnamed","owner_id":9198258,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":9198258,"first_name":"Ashley","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Currier","page_name":"AshleyCurrier","domain_name":"uc","created_at":"2014-02-16T05:33:02.703-08:00","display_name":"Ashley Currier","url":"https://uc.academia.edu/AshleyCurrier"},"attachments":[{"id":49191645,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/49191645/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"CurrierManuelAFSProofs20140917.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/49191645/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"When_Rape_Goes_Unnamed.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/49191645/CurrierManuelAFSProofs20140917-libre.pdf?1475102478=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DWhen_Rape_Goes_Unnamed.pdf\u0026Expires=1740056542\u0026Signature=D-7uk2qpbfLn1s-5RZFUGWNfWy9-v~KfK6Ll~zX9qkmps3ttw6FMvU5TvflF5johK-Y8yW568TZ3FzruwHu7xaVLn5BZ541I28sGYGMEG3tuYuQHhRsCyoz8JgTn2W-kRwgRlx4bt1wt-s2GX7hqYT9dc4RLWv3o12CgKJzB9PBn7JjYh~RAZQq0E97iJr8wcnyTRcWHzsQKQ9qSP3YwN8JvQoaRY2UNTim6FEFM2M4aKe1KlI9FLDQljmaIlXL3r5RckG2EBcNRs8rDWTvh92i91euxT8I2wtnp6uFAaHlwhMmLtOOWP-o7jwRVLEhiv~GsGiEFs85LcQbQfBR3Fg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="25917703"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/25917703/Love_in_the_Time_of_AIDS_Inequality_Gender_and_Rights_in_South_Africa_By_Mark_Hunter_Bloomington_Indiana_University_Press_2010_Pp_xviii_303_70_00_cloth_24_95_paper_"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Love in the Time of AIDS: Inequality, Gender, and Rights in South Africa .

LGBT activists identified laws governing gender and sexual nonconformity as in particular need of reform. Using data from daily ethnographic observation of LGBT movement organizations, in-depth qualitative interviews with LGBT activists, and newspaper articles about political homophobia, I elucidate how Namibian and South African LGBT activists conceptualize movement challenges to antigay laws as decolonization.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="662845aa5b3d8202b970be47511a815c" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":43990683,"asset_id":23565482,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/43990683/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="23565482"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="23565482"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 23565482;

First, these movements challenge the distinction between “politics” and “culture.” Second, African gender and sexual diversity movements face complicated dilemmas related to the transnational patronage and funding. Third, African gender and sexual diversity movements disrupt the notion that queer movements are “identity movements,” an argument that overlooks gender and sexual diversity organizations’ survival efforts. This chapter constitutes one of the first essays synthesizing the lessons from African gender and sexual diversity movements for social movement theorizing.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="cee33c01e1dc8b07e627b3467cf3dfc4" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":47678265,"asset_id":12470637,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/47678265/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="12470637"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="12470637"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12470637;

LGBT activists in Namibia and South Africa voluntarily included transgender rights and persons in the movement beginning in the mid-1990s, yet few constituents identified as transgender. Transgender invisibility in these movements indicates the discrepancy between collective and lived personal identities. Drawing on ethnographic observation of Namibian and South African LGBT activist organizations in 2005–06 and fifty-six interviews with LGBT activists, the article analyzes the contours of transgender invisibility within the Namibian and South African LGBT movements. A focus on transgender invisibility in LGBT movement organizations in Namibia and South Africa illuminates the uneven reception of identity terms and the identity work that LGBT activists in southern Africa perform to encourage constituents to align personal identities with prevailing collective-identity terms.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="a1aac60bfaf1c6a4507d05212f0858d3" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":43989647,"asset_id":12510769,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/43989647/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="12510769"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="12510769"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12510769;

African lesbians and gay men fear being arrested and imprisoned for violating laws prohibiting same-sex sexual relationships. In addition, African LGBT rights activists confront antigay hostility from political, religious, and traditional leaders. Activists championing unpopular causes, such as LGBT rights, sometimes benefit from forging solidary partnerships with sympathetic bystanders or social movements. In different African nations, LGBT activist organizations have formed partnerships with HIV/AIDS, human rights, and women’s rights movements. However, sympathizers can experience steep costs for supporting LGBT rights organizations. In 2010, Malawian state leaders began politicizing homosexuality, denouncing LGBT rights activism. Using the case of contemporary LGBT rights organizing in Malawi, I track the obstacles that prevent HIV/AIDS, human rights, and women’s rights organizations from supporting LGBT rights. In this environment, political homophobia ensnares not only LGBT activist organizations, but also HIV/AIDS, human rights, and women’s rights movement organizations. Drawing on 52 interviews I conducted with feminist, HIV/AIDS, human rights, and LGBT activists in Malawi in mid-2012, I probe how political homophobia polarized civil society and hampered the campaigns of different social movement organizations. My research demonstrates how political homophobia creates divisions among African social movements.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="12176432"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="12176432"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12176432; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=12176432]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=12176432]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12176432; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='12176432']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=12176432]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":12176432,"title":"Arrested Solidarity: Obstacles to Intermovement Support for LGBT Rights in Malawi","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/12176432/Arrested_Solidarity_Obstacles_to_Intermovement_Support_for_LGBT_Rights_in_Malawi","owner_id":9198258,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":9198258,"first_name":"Ashley","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Currier","page_name":"AshleyCurrier","domain_name":"uc","created_at":"2014-02-16T05:33:02.703-08:00","display_name":"Ashley Currier","url":"https://uc.academia.edu/AshleyCurrier"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="12176521"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/12176521/Civil_Society_and_Sexual_Struggles_in_Africa"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Civil Society and Sexual Struggles in Africa" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/49191705/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/12176521/Civil_Society_and_Sexual_Struggles_in_Africa">Civil Society and Sexual Struggles in Africa</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--coauthors"><span>by </span><span><a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://uc.academia.edu/AshleyCurrier">Ashley Currier</a> and <a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://colorado.academia.edu/JoelleCruz">Joelle Cruz</a></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Questions of sexuality often remain peripheral to both the agendas of African civil society organ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Questions of sexuality often remain peripheral to both the agendas of African civil society organizations (CSOs) and those who study civil society operations in different African nations. However, in the last two decades, political and religious leaders in a number of African nations have attacked sexual diversity. In response to the threats of state repression against gender and sexual minorities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Africans have formed activist organizations to support LGBT constituents and to promote gender and sexual minority rights as human rights. This chapter explores the form and content of contemporary African “sexual diversity struggles,” a term that refers to efforts to defend gender and sexual dissidence and to promote laws and policies that affirm gender and sexual diversity. This chapter contextualizes the rise of sexual diversity struggles throughout Africa and profiles the involvement of different civil society actors such as LGBT movement organizations, HIV/AIDS nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), women’s rights NGOs, and faith-based NGOs, in these struggles. Different CSOs lobby lawmakers to decriminalize same-sex sexualities, shelter gender and sexual minorities from hostile opponents, and develop local and transnational networks of sympathetic bystanders, lawmakers, foreign donors, and diplomats. This chapter pays particular attention to the transnational dimensions of African sexual diversity struggles and how local CSOs navigate the tensions and rewards that accompany transnational advocacy around LGBT rights.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="5bffdad341e836d0bcf9d56ea62d2204" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":49191705,"asset_id":12176521,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/49191705/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="12176521"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="12176521"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12176521;

We analyze two divergent accounts of unwanted sex offered by two gay Malawian men the first author interviewed in 2012. Feminist and queer theoretical insights about representing the agency of African gender and sexual minorities guide our inquiry. Our analysis shows how activist socialisation can intervene in and reshape how African sexual minority men perceive and name unwanted and/or coercive sex.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="dff0161a560021935921502e0584a728" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":43989545,"asset_id":12176488,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/43989545/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="12176488"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="12176488"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12176488;

In this article, I treat Namibian gender and sexual diversity organizing as a decolonization movement contesting SWAPO’s grip over the trajectory of decolonization. To illustrate how gender and sexuality movements operate as decolonization movements, I analyze how feminist and LGBT activists have responded to SWAPO leaders’ political homophobia since 1995. I draw on an analysis of twenty-eight in-person, qualitative interviews with Namibian LGBT activists and four months of ethnographic observation of the activities of Sister Namibia, a feminist organization, and The Rainbow Project, an LGBT movement organization, that I conducted in 2006. I also analyzed 338 Namibian newspaper articles published between 1995 and 2010 that mention homosexuality, antihomosexual sentiments, or LGBT activism.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="aa20c2113e0b348e5f1449ac67b869a7" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":43990675,"asset_id":6095052,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/43990675/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="6095052"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="6095052"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 6095052;

This book systematically charts the emergence and effects of politicized homophobia in Malawi and shows how it has been used as a strategy by political elites to consolidate their moral and political authority, through punishing LGBT people and dividing social movements. Here, Ashley Currier pays particular attention to the impact of politicized homophobia on different social movements, specifically HIV/AIDS, human rights, LGBT rights, and women's rights movements. Her timely account intervenes in Afro-pessimist portrayals of the African continent as a hotbed of homophobia and unravels the tensions and contradictions underlying Western perceptions of Malawi. It shows that, in reality, many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people happily call Malawi home, in spite of heightened antigay vitriol that has generated unwanted visibility for them.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="39088130"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="39088130"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 39088130;
