- Summary:
-
"Queer Visibilities explores the gap between liberal South African law and the more dangerous reality for groups of queer men living in Cape Town. By examining the lives of queer men among the three major 'race' groups in Cape Town - whites, coloureds and black Africans - this new study shows how changes in South African law remain marginal to vast numbers of the city's queers."--BOOK JACKET.
