"This book will address and uncover the role of US Christian Right 'pro-family' groups in mobilizing counter-movements against LGBTIQ+ human rights, reproductive justice, and sexuality education in Africa, and will intervene in the tendency to exceptionalize Africa as a 'homophobic continent' following the surge in homophobic and transphobic legislation, hate speech, and violence in recent years. The author employs the lens of decoloniality in an intersectional manner to unpack the multiple forms of hierarchy and oppression that the concept of the nuclear family has historically worked to naturalize in the interests of capitalism, Christo-normativity, and a world system dominated and controlled by the global north. Proceeding from the historical geopolitical context informing nuclear family idealization, the analysis then presents a critical discussion of contemporary pro-family discourses, showing that pro-family narratives that universalize and politicize the notion of 'family' are not only constituting agendas that erode LGBTIQ+ and reproductive justice, but reinforce an international order that privileges Euro-American interests despite pro-family claims that their agendas are anti-imperialist. This book will be of interest to scholars in gender, sexuality, and queer studies; postcolonial studies; and international relations"--
Les analyses critiques des discours et des lois anti-LGBTQI+ en Afrique ont mis en évidence la manière dont les relations de pouvoir entre États africains et occidentaux ont façonné et continuent de façonner le genre et la diversité sexuelle sur le continent. Si ces analyses ont permis une conceptualisation critique des politiques anti-LGBTQI+ en contextes africains, elles ont aussi tendance à négliger l'examen des relations entre les États africains et d'autres États non occidentaux, et la manière dont ces relations peuvent également jouer un rôle dans l'élaboration des politiques anti-LGBTQI+ sur le continent. Cet article propose une étude exploratoire des discours et des relations de pouvoir qui se développent à mesure que les États africains s'affirment politiquement sur la scène internationale en mobilisant des discours contre-hégémoniques anti-genre. Ces derniers ne répondent pas uniquement aux homo- et aux hétéronationalismes occidentaux mais construisent également une frontière et des alliances géopolitiques qui résonnent avec la rhétorique provenant d'Europe centrale et orientale.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 115-128). ; This critical ethnographic study is concerned with dynamics of race and space in Prince Albert, a rural South African town. Proceeding in the wake of previous studies which have identified mechanisms of informal segregation in urban, post-apartheid contexts, this study aims to explore the ways in which transformation, as a national imperative to democratize South Africa's economic, political, and social landscape, is taking shape in small rural towns. It is found that fifteen years after the end of apartheid, Prince Albert's coloured and white residents remains spatially segregated. It is argued here that this persistent segregation and inequality has become further entrenched by changes which have occurred upon the arrival of white middle class English speaking South Africans during the past fifteen years. Specifically, in advocating for the protection of Prince Albert's 'heritage value' and concomitant development of the tourism industry, these new residents exert a symbolic control of space which centers their own interests and identities and ultimately re-assigns coloured residents a peripheral, disenfranchised socio-economic status.
