WILLIAM J. SPURLIN is Reader in English and Director of the Centre for the Study of Sexual Dissidence at the University of Sussex.

'Substantially original in content and approach.' - Alan Sinfield, Sussex University 'Spurlin makes a compelling case for the need to queer postcolonial theory and decolonize queer theory, arguing cogently that only these moves can enable a fuller understanding of non-heteronormative sexualities in Africa.' - Ruth Vanita, author of Love's Rite: Same-Sex Marriage in India and the West
