The Cultural Politics of Female Sexuality in South Africa

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sexual identity has emerged into the national discourse of post-apartheid South Africa, bringing the subject of rights and the question of gender relations into the nation's politics. This book is a fascinating reflection on the effects of these discourses on non-normative modes of sexuality and on the country more generally.
