Princess A. Sibanda is Postdoctoral Fellow with the SARCHI Chair in Waste and Society at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa and a Humboldt Research Fellow at Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany. Gibson Ncube is Senior Lecturer of French Language and Francophone Literature and Cultures at Stellenbosch University, South Africa.
Born out of comradery-collaboration that developed online, this co-authored book by two seasoned scholars, Ncube and Sibanda, offers fascinating insight into the importance of digital spaces for African queer world- and community-making. Without romanticizing the digital space as a site of agency, liberation, and freedom, the authors skillfully elucidate how queer and trans people in Southern Africa navigate, negotiate, and appropriate online platforms boldly and creatively in a quest for self-representation and self-fashioning. Doing so, this book foregrounds digital worlds as crucial to imagining and shaping queer African futures. * Adriaan van Klinken, Professor of Religion and African Studies, University of Leeds, UK *
