1. Is Homosexuality an African or unAfrican Human Rights Issue? -- 2. Contesting the Sexual: Sexuality in an African Context -- 3. Contesting Religion: African Religious Leaders in Sexual Politics -- 4. Contesting Global Culture: Globalization and Sexual Politics in sub-Saharan Africa -- 5. Contesting Identity: Democratic Human Rights and Sexual Politics -- 6. Contesting Sovereignty: Protective homophobia and International Relations -- 7. Contesting the Biblical Adam and Eve Narrative: Jesus on Sexual Diversity -- 8. A Dance of Many Tunes.

This book examines how socio-political assumptions inform and shape the contestation of sexuality on the African continent. Across Africa, the idea that homosexuality is un-African, un-Christian, un-natural, and un-cultural is now well established. This book analyzes politically- and religiously-inspired protective homophobia within the context of Africa's socioeconomic and political place in the global community. The author builds upon on-the-ground research and his groundbreaking previous studies on the cultural politics of globalization in Africa to present a wide, complex, and interdisciplinary understanding of Africa's sexual politics.
