GLOBAL QUEER POLITICS HOMOPHOBIC VIOLENCE IN ...

This book argues that homophobia plays a fundamental role in disputes for hegemony between
antagonists during political transitions. Examining countries not often connected in the same
research-Colombia and South Africa-the book asserts that homophobia  as a form of gender and
sexual violence  contributes to the transformation of gender and sexual orders required by
warfare and deployed by armed groups. Anti-homosexual violence also reinforces the creation of
consensus around these projects of change. The book considers the perspective of individuals
and their organizations  for whom such hatreds are part of the embodied experience of violence
caused by protracted conflicts and social inequalities. Resistance to that violence are reason
to mobilize and become political actors. This book contributes to the increasing interest in
South-South comparative analyses and the need of theory building based on case-study analyses 
offering systematic research useful for grass root organizations  practitioners  and policy
makers.
