A must-read for all with a keen interest in human rights and co-existence.? ?Oliver Mtapuri is Professor in Development Studies in the School of Built Environment and Development Studies, University of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa This book uses a deconstruction context to highlight the challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ communities in African Higher Education. The discursive approach adopted in the book is critical in enabling the editors and their authors space to articulate the subtle, problematic, and context-sensitive issues that drive exclusionary and unequal practices that students face in campus life. The book goes on to present an advanced argument for integrating African epistemologies such as Ubuntu with social justice frameworks to foster cultural competence and diversity in higher education.
