Queer Visibilities

Combining current theory and original fieldwork, Queer Visibilities explores the gap between liberal South African law and the reality for groups of queer men living in Cape Town.

• Explores the interface between queer sexuality, race, and urban space to show links between groups of queer men
• Focuses on three main ''population groups'' in Cape Town—white, coloured, and black Africans
• Discusses how HIV remains a key issue for queer men in South Africa
• Utilizes new research data—the first comprehensive cross-community study of queer identities in South Africa
