• Sommario/riassunto: Dieses Buch vereint aktivistische und wissenschaftliche Perspektiven aus verschiedenen afrikanischen Ländern zu den vielfältigen Lebensrealitäten von LGBTIQ+-Personen. Es untersucht ihre Erfahrungen mit Gewalt sowie ihre Widerstandsstrategien. Dabei werden die Auswirkungen kolonialer Vermächtnisse, die Solidarität innerhalb der LGBTIQ+-Gemeinschaften sowie Möglichkeiten der Vernetzung von Wissenschaftler*innen und Aktivist*innen zur Förderung von Solidaritätspraktiken beleuchtet. This book brings together activist and scholarly perspectives from different African countries on the multifaceted lived realities of LGBTIQ+ persons, exploring their experiences of violence and their resistance strategies. It examines the impact of colonial legacies, solidarities across LGBTIQ+ communities, and the ways in which scholars and activists can connect to foster and share collective practices.
