## Description

desertcart.com: Boy-Wives and Female-Husbands: Studies in African Homosexualities: 9780312238292: NA, NA: Books

Review: Superb Presentation of Complexities - An enlightening book presenting an extremely wide variety of narratives about non-heterosexual relationships in traditional and modern African cultures. The editors provide a superb introduction, presenting different approaches and definitions and then let the anthology entries each speak for themselves. Worthwhile reading in either the context of studies of sexuality or of African history and culture.
Review: Must buy - The writing is very academic and dense (by design) at points, however, this book is an absolutely fascinating read that details homosexuality across Africa.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ incredibly interesting
*by J***R on April 23, 2014*

especially in light of legal situation in many african countries, where lesbian and gay people are being prosecuted and often incarcerated
