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.

Herbert Daniel was a significant and complex figure in Brazilian leftist revolutionary politics and social activism from the mid-1960s until his death in 1992. As a medical student, he joined a revolutionary guerrilla organization but was forced to conceal his sexual identity from his comrades, a situation Daniel described as internal exile. After a government crackdown, he spent much of the 1970s in Europe, where his political self-education continued. He returned to Brazil in 1981, becoming engaged in electoral politics and social activism to champion gay rights, feminism, and environmental justice, achieving global recognition for fighting discrimination against those with HIV/AIDS. In Exile within Exiles, James N. Green paints a full and dynamic portrait of Daniel's deep commitment to leftist politics, using Daniel's personal and political experiences to investigate the opposition to Brazil's military dictatorship, the left's construction of a revolutionary masculinity, and the challenge that the transition to democracy posed to radical movements. Green positions Daniel as a vital bridge linking former revolutionaries to the new social movements, engendering productive dialogue between divergent perspectives in his writings and activism.

"By the late 1980s, the AIDS pandemic was deeply impacting gay and lesbian communities in America, and disinformation about the disease was running rampant. Out of the activist group ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), an art collective that called itself Gran Fury was formed, to create graphics and media that campaigned against corporate greed, government inaction, and public indifference to AIDS. In It Was Vulgar and It Was Beautiful, writer Jack Lowery examines Gran Fury's art and activism, from the iconic images like the SILENCE = DEATH graphic and the Kissing Doesn't Kill poster, to the act of dropping thousands of fake bills onto the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Lowery offers a complex, moving portrait of a group that expressed through art the profound trauma of surviving the AIDS crisis and formed essential solidarities between gays and lesbians in the activist community. Gran Fury and ACT UP's strategies are today employed by a variety of activist groups, including survivors of school shootings, harm reduction organizers, and activists for universal healthcare. Their belief in the power of art to create social change and drive political movements is illuminating in this era when violence and unending structural racism continue to target the most vulnerable"--
