Reviews

“Queer Objects to the Rescue is brilliantly written, and it provides us with a resilient scaffolding for theorizing queer valance in Africa.” * S. N. Nyeck, University of Colorado Boulder * “This sophisticated critical study of queerness, objecthood, and subjecthood offers novel approaches and languages for scholarly engagement with identities situated in social, cultural, and economic politics, histories of inclusion and exclusion, and complex fabrications of (intimate) citizenships.” * Besi Muhonja, James Madison University * “Filled with smart arguments and clean-edged prose, Queer Objects to the Rescue makes a signature contribution to the literature on non-normative sexualities in Africa. It maps out novel terrain for semiotic and new materialism theory, as well as for queer and African studies, and it richly unsettles simplistic accounts of homophobia and citizenship in Kenya today.” * Charles Piot, Duke University *
