My name is Bandile, I am a writer and a black queer Gender Activist. I have been working on a book for the past 3 years and I have received a call from AuthorHouse UK who will be assisting me in publishing the book in five countries.
The book, “Somewhere Under The Rainbow”, will be talking about Patriarchy, Heteronormativity and Masculinity in South Africa and Africa as a whole. I am writing this book because there is an urgent need for understanding of queer sexuality in Africa, especially because laws have been created to oppress human beings for who they are and is suffering imprisonment, death sentences, harassment and even murder.
I believe that my book will contribute to raise awareness into accepting black queer people in African countries so that they may live their lives with dignity.
