Post-Apartheid Same-Sex Sexualities: Restless Identities in Literary and Visual Culture

Abstract

The cornerstone of Post-Apartheid Same-Sex Sexualities: Restless Identities in Literary and Visual Culture by Andy Carolin (2021) is a resolute declaration for South African same-sex literary and visual texts to be interpreted by mapping local and transnational flows, as well as historical and contemporary connections. Carolin refers to the idea of “restlessness” as a means to encapsulate the dynamism and ethos of such a reading, and he is to be lauded for delivering a meticulously researched and innovative study that is immensely thought-provoking.
