RUBIO LLONA, Aimar. Understanding Post-colonial Homophobia: A Proposal for Analyzing from the South-African Paradigm. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2015, vol.30, n.86, pp.65-98. ISSN 2007-8358.

This article explores the problem of post-colonial homophobia vis-á-vis discourses, violent masculinities, intersectional discrimination, and HIV-AIDS in Africa in general and in South Africa in particular. The aim is to understand the existing dynamics between post-colonial homophobia and patriarchy, masculinities, and the new discourses about sexuality in Africa, as a continent with the highest number of states that criminalize sexual diversity. The author aims to identify how homophobia is reproduced in the South, since its post-colonial elements distinguish it from other realities.

Keywords : violence; gender; human rights; Africa; South Africa; LGBTI; masculinities; HIV-AIDS; post-colonial studies; homophobia.
