On the space Samuel and and Isaiah are able to make for themselves in a barnĪ safe space, a place of peace, of longing, fulfilled because it functions as a place where they labor. It was just a part of the landscape and there was no need to single it out or call it by a different name. In many of the communities that lived in precolonial Africa, queerness was just as normal as heterosexuality. What my research showed was, in fact, that what Europe brought with them to Africa was homophobia, through the violence and the religion. And that it wasn't until European interference through war, through religion and such that Black people engaged in this thing we call queerness. There is this notion in many Black communities that queerness, or homosexuality, or whatever term you wish to use is the result of some sort of colonial trauma. ![]() ![]()
