Paperback. Condition: New. Postcolonial Mozambique decriminalized homosexual acts in 2015. This legal reform was not a response to litigation or public pressure, but came from a parliamentary initiative and lobbying by a few organizations. Subsequent public opinion polls show that Mozambique is an outlier in Africa in its relatively tolerant behaviors and attitudes toward non-heterosexual 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? Queer Mozambique provides a lively response to these questions.Contributors employ different modes and styles ranging from photographs to storytelling to text interpretation to tell stories of Mozambique's distinctive cultures of sexual and gender dissent and fluidity, from the South African mine compounds of the late nineteenth century to the current LGBTIQ+ movement and the formation of new sexual and gender identities, such as those of the manas trans women.The first book in English on queer issues in a Portuguese-speaking African country, Queer Mozambique not only assembles and interprets empirical evidence for the Anglophone reader, but also brings new debates and theories from the Global South. It aims at a truly global dialogue between international and Mozambican scholars of queer studies.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. The book is in very good condition, little shelf rubbing apparent. The text and images inside appear clean and clear throughout. 'Maputo Diary, a deeply personal and visual masterpiece by the Danish photographer and filmmaker Ditte Haarløv Johnsen. The book brings together 25 years of photographic work from Mozambique's capital, Maputo - the city where Haarløv Johnsen herself grew up during the civil war and has subsequently returned to over the past two decades. Through 121 photographs, accompanied by diary notes and new texts, Maputo Diary portrays life, love, and survival among people living on the margins of society, blending social documentary with artistic investigation in images of friends, family, and everyday moments in Maputo. At its heart lies Haarløv Johnsen's friendship with the "Manas" ("Sisters") - a group of transgender individuals, many of whom are no longer alive. Maputo Diary stands as both a personal testimony and a universal story - one that finds beauty, dignity, and humanity even in life's most vulnerable moments.' 232 pages. 8.95 x 10.6 inches.
