Lesbian Identities in South Africa
ISBN: 9783838372891 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What does it mean to be a lesbian in South Africa today?

Employing an intersectional analytical approach, this study suggests that lesbian identity is constructed alongside a person's multiple identities, which often overlap - such as race, gender, ties to...
