Abstract
Good quality social science and humanities research about same-sex sexuality in Africa is rare. This does not imply that same-sex sexuality is not practised in Africa. The question could be raised whether there is something specific about African same-sex sexualities that warrants special attention. The authors would argue that same-sex sexual expression in Africa has many aspects and facets in common with such expression in other parts of the world. African same-sex sexualities are likely to include a wide range of nuanced expressions.-
