Christianity, Globalization, and Protective Homophobia: Democratic Contestation of Sexuality in Sub-Saharan Africa

Utilizes a broad base of empirical research to contest various theories that seek to explain the rise of homophobia in Africa as the result of US evangelical interventions

Situates homophobia in Africa within a perspective of globalization, transnational networks, and the relationship between domestic and international space

Appeals to scholars in Political Science, African Studies, Religious Studies, Sociology, and Anthropology, in particular those interested in human rights, aid and development, sexuality, and gender
