Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Out in Africa is an extremely important book. Ashley Currier broadly addresses factors influencing mobilization of LGBT movements within sub-Saharan Africa at the local, national, and international level. She further extends existing literature on social movements, identity, and development by examining the prospects of mobilization among disadvantaged groups within newly democratized developing countries." —Kathleen Fallon, author of Democracy and the Rise of Women’s Movements in Sub-Saharan Africa
