Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Exploring the intersection of objects and homophobia in Kenya, George Paul Meiu examines how certain items have been used to symbolize the perceived threat of homosexuality to national masculinity. Through an analysis of objects like bead necklaces and diapers, the book highlights their role in state-led and societal efforts to marginalize queer identities. Meiu argues that understanding these objects is crucial for critiquing homophobia, as they can also represent pathways to new forms of citizenship, intimacy, and resistance.
