ABOUT
BOOK LAUNCH INVITATION | QUEER MOZAMBIQUE - queer lives and culture in Mozambique
Mozambique’s 2015 decriminalisation of homosexual acts occurred not through court rulings or mass protest, but through parliamentary reform and local advocacy, making Mozambique an outlier in Africa in its relatively tolerant behaviours and attitudes toward nonheterosexual relationships.
What are the cultural and historical specificities toward gender and sexual dissidence in Mozambique that might explain its distinctive path, and what can we learn from them?
Wits University Press invites you to the launch of Queer Mozambique: From the Mines to the Manas
Join the editors Francisco Miguel and Marc Epprecht as they discuss queer lives and culture in Mozambique, with Caio Simões de Araújo and Paola Prandini
