In this paper, I will talk about queerness, queer theory, and the application of queer imaginings in Africanfuturism, inspired by African history. This chapter is a brief exploration of how to resurrect the ancient and traditional queerness present across the African continent, eroded and erased by Western hegemony, in speculative fiction that moves toward an African-inspired post-gender society.
I'll specifically reference my own work and the work by other queer Africans.
