The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Protecting the Human Rights of Sexual Minorities in Contemporary Africa, edited by S Namwase and A Jjuuko

This collection of essays contains papers that were first presented at a colloquium on sexual minority rights in Africa, which took place at the Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria, in 2014. Viewing homosexuality through a legal and rights-based prism, this volume brings together fourteen essays focusing on various aspects of homosexuality, covering a wide range of countries from across the continent. This makes this publication one of the most comprehensive collections of African voices on this topic.
