Reviews

The book is conceptually sophisticated and offers an exceptionally engaging and enlightening examination of how the meaning-making of texts is neither fixed nor stable but rather restless - open to multiple meanings by exposing them to different contexts and horizons. Dr Rory du Plessis, University of Pretoria, South Africa Carolin's book is an archival work in as much as it is a work of textual analysis and literary criticism; the book details multiple stories of sexual rights in South Africa and archives diverse lived experiences of same-sex intimacies through visual and literary texts. Dr Grant Andrews, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa Post-Apartheid Same-Sex Sexualities is an invaluable addition to the growing archive and body of scholarship on same-sex and queer sexualities in South Africa. It is a book which will be important to scholars and students of non-conforming African sexualities and gender identities who have a particular interest in film and literary studies. Dr Gibson Ncube, Stellenbosch University, South Africa, writing in the Journal of the African Literature Association
