Queering the Tropics
This special issue entitled “Queering the Tropics” explores how queering as a methodology and gender and sexuality as a critical rubric complicate the study of the tropics and conceptions of tropicality. It also engages with how the tropics as a worldly zone, and the notion of tropicality as simultaneously material and imaginary, reconfigure notions of queer sexuality. In other words, our aim has been to study how the tropical might queer queerne…
African(a) Queer Presence
Frontiers and pioneers in (the study of) queer experiences in Africa Introduction
This part issue of the journalAfricabroadly explores the idea of frontiers and pioneers in the study of queer African lives. We envisage frontiers as exploring new openings in the study of sexuality by putting forward the practices and experiences of people across the African continent. We propose to study queerness as part of broader quotidian realities so as to further theorize the study of sexualities and queerness. We propose the term 'pionee…
Poetics
Audre Lorde is a household name within Black queer communities and has almost exclusively been associated with scholarship on gender and sexuality. Her early political involvement in Africaâ€TMs liberation in the context of Négritude, a pan-African movement of self-affirmation, has largely gone unnoticed, inad- vertently giving credence to the unfounded but popular idea that queer folk s are not interested in Africaâ€TMs political priorities. Thi…
Heretical Falsification and the Challenge of Theorizing LGBT Politics from the South
This chapter deals with the problem of legislating against non-normative genders and sexualities from the standpoint of postcolonial fear of and resistance to perceived Western encroachment. New technologies have increased anxiety about the future of an African self that some want to keep shackled to the altar of ontological pursuits. The cybersecurity debate in Cameroon shows the ways in which the nation deals with unfamiliar (perceived and real…
Routledge Handbook of Queer African Studies
From Oblivion to Post-History
This article addresses the ways in which art and philosophy have been discursively used to conceptualize critical political changes and frame narratives of liberation by including and excluding primitive consciousness simultaneously. More concretely, it analyzes the contribution of art and philosophy to the understanding of history and post-history through different representations of black bodies, black desires, and black agencies in the novels …
From Old Practices to New Governance Models
Drawing on various historical documents, the article uses process tracing methods and analytic narratives to establish a relationship between historical contractual practices and state formation in nineteenth-century East Africa. I trace the process through which local political leaders historically sought to secure monopolistic deals over trade with foreign entrepreneurs through incomplete contracts for tangible economic goods (arms and slave tr…
Public Procurement Reform and Governance in Africa
The Implicit Dimensions of Public Procurement Contracts
This chapter explores the frontier of political power and sovereignty in contractual schemes. Nyeck brings politics and history back in the study of public procurement noting that a commodity-focused approach to government outsourcing fails to explain the ways in which sovereignty is at times constructed, inflated, or transformed in procurement agreements. Drawing insight from the activities of the Crown Agents in colonial Africa the author demon…
