The Prize and the Price: Shaping Sexualities in South Africa

The Prize and the Price: Shaping Sexualities in South Africa

Engaging and provocative, the collection gathersÂ leading and emerging scholars toÂ disentangle the strands of particular sexual identities and deepen understanding of the multiple workings of heteronormativity in South African society in particular and sexuality in general. Through analyzing where and how heteronormativity intersects with other axes of power and social identity, contributors to thisÂ collection reveal that it is not monolithic, and heterosexuality as the South African norm is effectively omitted from heteronormativity. Examining the historical continuities and interruptions of heteronormativity in South African society, each chapter extends beyond the well-researched areas of sexualityâ€”same sexualities, HIV/AIDS, and gender-based violenceâ€”to less-discussed areas such as childhood sexuality and disability.
