Caracteristici
The collection is the first of its kind, not only in terms of its topic (i.e. LGBTIQ+ migrants on, from and to the African continent) but also in its grounding on the continent, as evidenced by the high number of contributors in/from the Global South (including some who are themselves LGBTIQ+ refugees or migrants)

Recenzii
[A] sensitive, textured, and comprehensive investigation of queer and trans migration . a vibrant and valuable addition to the scholarly literature surrounding queer and trans migration. It is an exceptional volume, with an impressive array of contributors, that makes for a dynamic, refreshing, and in-depth investigation of queer and trans migration on and from the African continent.
This urgent, compelling, and carefully curated volume is a vital corrective to the field of queer and trans migration studies. By decentering an emphasis on legal regimes, Euro-American perspectives, and South-North migration trajectories, Queer and Trans African Mobilities fills gaps in knowledge and understanding that have existed for decades. As a whole, the essays in this book invite readers to expand their thinking on migration narratives, securitization regimes, belonging, and what it means to think about queer Africa. This book should be mandatory reading for anyone who teaching about queer and trans migration, gender and sexuality on the African continent, and the necessity of geographically-specific analyses of transnational mobilities.
Queer and Trans African Mobilities crucially intervenes in queer migration studies and politics by fully accounting for the journeys of queer and transgender Africans on the African continent, to different continents and countries, and on digital platforms. By centering queer and trans Africans' experiences with migration, mobility, and travel, this timely book demonstrates how migration studies and queer African studies can enrich one another.
This gem of a collection thoroughly reorients our understandings of queer and trans migrations, mobilities, and movements within and from the African continent. It reframes how African nations, and queer and trans migrants, are imagined, conceptualized, and engaged. The authors provide innovative methodologies, epistemologies, and key questions for scholarship, activism, and policy-making. Read this groundbreaking book.
Queer and Trans African Mobilities is bold and transformative in its challenging of our understanding of the intersections of gender, sexuality and mobility in Africa. From a variety of disciplinary perspectives, the book is a worthwhile provocation and powerful reminder of how queer and trans mobilities in the continent are and should be imagined and theorized. The essays in this book push back against rigid interpretations of Africa and its peoples and the monolithic view that queer and trans Africans only move to the Global North to find more accommodating spaces. The book makes important contributions to the conceptions of border regimes as well as local, regional and global responses to queer and trans mobilities. Queer and Trans African Mobilities is a tour de force and a timely contribution to queer migration studies and queer African studies.
Queer and Trans African Mobilities is an exciting and relevant collection of essays exploring the limits and possibilities of migration, asylum, and diaspora. The various essays exfoliate the layers of cultural, emotional, and political issues that confront these minoritized subjects who cross various virtual and geographic borders in their attempt to find home, solace, and safety amidst the tribulations of the contemporary world. Among its various valuable interventions is the complicating of the directionality of migration which is typically portrayed as movements from South to North. By offering studies on South-South mobilities, this work enables a new cartography and an expansive way of understanding the travails and travel of African queer and trans subjects.
Camminga and Marnell have produced a rare edited volumes whose value far exceeds the sum of its parts. Not only does It offer original insights into the lives of people often hidden in plain view, but bravely charts a research agenda at once provocative and respectful; poignant and political. It unsettles migration studies' geographic and conceptual center. But more than that, it does the same for queer, trans, and gender studies. It introduces authors many will not yet know, sites that rarely feature in dominant accounts, and lifecourses that only a few will imagine possible. It sets the bar for collaborative, generative research that broadens and deepens through contributions to both scholarship and social justice.
