Moving beyond narrow framings of visibility and legal recognition, this volume centres queer embodiment, lived experience, and the everyday negotiations of space, time, intimacy, and belonging in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume foregrounds the diverse ways queer subjects navigate shifting political, cultural, spiritual, and economic landscapes in Southern Africa. Drawing on queer theory, decolonial thought, feminist critique, and indigenous knowledge systems, this book uncovers the complex relationships among queerness, temporality, kinship, spirituality, labour, mobility, and survival. It explores issues as varied as ancestral callings, queer kinship structures, spiritual practices, digital intimacies, the politics of public sex, economic precarity, migration, and communal care, demonstrating how queer communities across the region continue to remake social worlds despite ongoing structural violence, exclusion, and moral regulation. Rather than treating Southern Africa as a homogeneous space, this volume remains attentive to the uneven histories, languages, and political conditions that shape queer experiences across the region. In doing so, it offers an important intervention into African queer studies by foregrounding relationality, affect, embodiment, and world-making as central to understanding contemporary queer life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to researchers and students in gender and sexuality studies, queer studies, African studies, cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, and political science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLwando Majikijela\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in the Department of Communication Sciences at the University of South Africa.
