| Sumario: | Visibility matters to activists - to their social and political relevance, their credibility, their influence. But invisibility matters, too, in times of political hostility or internal crisis. This book presents an intimate look at how Namibian and South African lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) organizations have cultivated visibility and invisibility as strategies over time. As such, it reveals the complexities of the LGBT movements in both countries as these organizations make use of Western terminology and notions of identity to gain funding even as they work to counter the perception that they are "un-African." |
