"Rehashed Liberalism, the Accusation of Radical Purity, and the Alibi of the "Personal
In five chapters, Sa'ed Atshan explores the question of queer Palestinian identities in complicated and contested local, national, and global frames. He argues in the first chapter that the queer Palestinian movement in Israel/Palestine “is mostly submerged and latent as a result of Israeli subjugation of Palestinians and Palestinian patriarchy and homophobia” (29), and through ethnography attempts to give voice to the queer Palestinians he argue…
Big man sovereignty and sexual politics in pandemic time
This essay investigates why voters both forgive and reward the corruption enacted by Trump and Zuma because of the powerful illiberal fantasies they solicit in relation to their respective national mythologies of the good life. It does so by attending to the sexual politics these presidents articulate and perform. It describes and analyzes Mar-a-Lago and Nkandla as dream palaces of national belonging, Trump and Zuma’s public and private utterance…

A Queering-to-Come
This introduction outlines the idea of the queer customary and how various African articulations of it engage, contest, and nuance central concerns of queer theory produced in the global North, particularly around ideas of normativity-hetero and homo. It speculates on the customary's reworking of temporality and what that reworking does to historical time and the problems and possibilities in reading the colonial archive in the search for a useab…
Introduction to Looked Class, Talked Red by Barbara Harlow
The author remembers his friend and colleague Barbara Harlow and provides an introductory context for the selection from her book-in-progress on Ruth First published in this special issue of Race & Class 60, no. 3 (2019). He describes just how Ruth First became of interest to Harlow, explaining the intersections of Ruth First’s personal history as a public intellectual with the history of decolonisation and the anti-apartheid movement, and the in…
Dystopian Futures, Apartheid, and Postapartheid Allegories
This essay analyzes Lauren Beukes's 2010 novel, Zoo City, as a complicated set of allegories of environmental disaster, HIV/AIDS, xenophobic violence, and contemporary African identity. It argues that Zoo City, as a speculative fiction of sorts, is deeply informed by South African history and particularly the history of Johannesburg in both the apartheid and postapartheid eras. The central conceit of the novel, the “animalled,” or “zoos,” marks a…

The Global Trajectories of Queerness: Re-thinking Same-Sex Politics in the Global South
The Global Trajectories of Queerness interrogates the term "queer" by closely mapping what space the theorizing of same-sex sexualities and sexual politics in the non-West inhabits. From theoretical discussions around the epistemologies of such conceptualizations of space in the Global South, to speci c ethnographies of same-sex culture, this collection hopes to forge a way of tracking the histories of race, class, caste, gender, and sexual orien…

Re: Thinking Sex From the Global South Africa
This article investigates Gayle Rubin's 1984 article "Thinking Sex: Notes for a Radical Theory of the Politics of Sexuality" as a piece of "traveling theory." It takes a key concept, "hierarchies of sexual value," and its representation in a famous graphic, "the charmed circle," to see what aspects of sexual politics in South Africa Rubin's concept can illuminate, both for the moment in which the essay was written and for the present. While the w…
