| 520 | 8 | |a 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 examines how Namibian and South African lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) organisations have cultivated visibility and invisibility as strategies over time.
