While an exhaustive examination of LGBT literature in Africa is virtually impossible, the few works presented here show that the genre has come a long way from depicting homosexuality as “un-African” and foreign, especially in South Africa where most of the literature is coming from. While white South African men writing about white gay male identity dominate, there are a growing number of black male authors, like K Sello Duiker, who look at additional issues of race and class. There are also female authors who tend to include more progressive depictions of women’s sexuality. Overall, these works convey images of homosexuality which challenge stereotypical views. Despite this progress, there is still a long way to go. There isn’t that much work coming out from the rest of sub-Saharan Africa and there needs to be more works from black lesbian women and transgender people.
