Queer Mozambique offers a wide-ranging exploration of Mozambique's distinctive cultures of sexual and gender dissent and fluidity, from the mine compounds of the late nineteenth century to the current LGBTIQ+ movement and the formation of new sexual and gender identities, such as those of the manas trans women. It includes photography, storytelling and lively discussion among the contributors about the cultural and historical specificities of a uniquely Mozambican gender and sexual dissidence. The first book in English on queer issues in a Portuguese-speaking African country, Queer Mozambique not only assembles and interprets empirical evidence for the Anglophone reader but also brings new debates and theories from the Global South to queer studies. It aims at a truly global dialogue with acclaimed international scholars and Mozambican authors among them.
