Its constitution, adopted in 1996, was the first in the world to include gays and lesbians as full citizens. Brenna M. Munro examines the stories that were told about sexuality, race, and nation throughout the struggle against apartheid in order to uncover how these narratives ultimately enabled gay people to become imaginable as fellow citizensHomosexuality in literatureLiterature and societySouth AfricaHistory20th centurySouth African literature (English)20th centuryHistory and criticismSouth AfricaIntellectual life20th centuryHomosexuality in literature.Literature and societyHistorySouth African literature (English)History and criticism.820.9968Munro Brenna M1561158MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785966203321South Africa and the dream of love to come3827654UNINA
