Abstract

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.

Abstract

The Pox Lover is a personal history of the turbulent 1990s in New York City and Paris by a pioneering American AIDS journalist, lesbian activist, and daughter of French-Haitian elites. In an account that is by turns searing, hectic, and funny, Anne-christine d'Adesky remembers 'the poxed generation' of AIDS -- their lives, their battles, and their determination to find love and make art in the heartbreaking years before lifesaving protease drugs arrived. D'Adesky takes us through a fast-changing East Village: squatter protests and civil disobedience lead to all-night drag and art-dance parties, the fun-loving Lesbian Avengers organize dyke marches, and the protest group ACT UP stages public funerals. Traveling as a journalist to Paris, an insomniac d'Adesky trolls the Seine, encountering waves of exiles fleeing violence in the Balkans, Haiti, and Rwanda. As the last of the French Nazis stand trial and the new National Front rises in the polls, d'Adesky digs into her aristocratic family's roots in Vichy France and colonial Haiti. This is a testament with a message for every generation: grab at life and love, connect with others, fight for justice, keep despair at bay, and remember.
