Au cours des deux dernières décennies, la question de l'orientation sexuelle et des identités de genre est devenue un sujet de débat public dans de nombreux pays africains. En lien avec la montée des violences anti-homosexuelles dans les années 2000, la recherche en sciences sociales s'est attelée à montrer que l'Afrique, soudainement homophobe, fut pendant longtemps un lieu de tolérance pour la diversité sexuelle, à condition qu'elle reste confinée dans l'espace privé. Dans ce contexte, sur la base d'une double enquête ethnographique au Cameroun et en France, Patrick Awondo analyse l'émergence de l'homosexualité comme sujet politique et son expression dans les parcours des « migrants sexuels » africains en France. Cet ouvrage propose ainsi un traitement ethnographique inédit de la naissance d'un militantisme homosexuel en Afrique sub-saharienne postcoloniale et de la construction de l'homosexualité comme question publique dans un contexte plus général d'« ensauvagement » de la société africaine. Over the past two decades, the issue of sexual orientation and gender identity has become a topic of public debate in many African countries. In connection with the rise of anti-homosexual violence in the 2000s, social science research has tried to show that, suddenly homophobic, Africa, had long been a place of tolerance for sexual diversity, on condition that it remained private. In this context, based on a double ethnographic survey in Cameroon and France, Patrick Awondo analyses the emergence of homosexuality as a political subject and its expression in the trajectories of African "sexual migrants" in France. This book proposes an ethnographic treatment of the unprecedented birth of homosexual activism in post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa and the construction of homosexuality as a public issue in a more general context of the ensauvagement of African societies.

Alan Berkman (1945-2009) was no campus radical in the mid-1960s; he was a promising Ivy League student, football player, Eagle Scout, and fraternity president. But when he was a medical student and doctor, his politics began to change, and soon he was providing covert care to members of revolutionary groups like the Weather Underground and becoming increasingly radicalized by his experiences at the Wounded Knee takeover, at the Attica Prison uprising, and at health clinics for the poor. When the government went after him, he went underground and participated in bombings of government buildings. He was eventually captured and served eight years in some of America's worst penitentiaries, barely surviving two rounds of cancer. After his release in 1992, he returned to medical practice and became an HIV/AIDS physician, teacher, and global health activist.
