Combining current theory and original fieldwork, Queer Visibilities explores the gap between liberal South African law and the reality for groups of queer men living in Cape Town.
- Explores the interface between queer sexuality, race, and urban space to show links between groups of queer men
- Focuses on three main 'population groups' in Cape Town—white, coloured, and black Africans
- Discusses how HIV remains a key issue for queer men in South Africa
- Utilizes new research data—the first comprehensive cross-community study of queer identities in South Africa
