Description:
Issues of homosexuality are the subject of public and political controversy in many African societies today. This book investigates Christian politics and discourses on homosexuality in sub-Saharan Africa. The contributors present case studies from various African countries and critically examine popular Christian theologies that perpetuate homophobia and discrimination. They also discuss contestations of such discourses and emerging alternative Christian perspectives that contribute to the recognition of sexual diversity, social justice and human rights in contemporary Africa.
