On his travels and sojourns Edozien explores the worsening legal climate for gay men and women on the continent; the impact homophobic evangelical American pastors are having in many countries, and its toxic intersection with political populism; and experiences the pressures placed on those living under harshly oppressive laws that are themselves the legacy of colonial rule - pressures that sometimes lead to seeking asylum in the West. Yet he remains hopeful, and this memoir, which is pacy, romantic and funny by turns, is also a love-letter to Africa, above all to Nigeria and the megalopolis that is Lagos. 586 $a Lambda Literary Award, Gay Memoir/Biography, 2018. 600 10 $a Edozien, Chike Frankie, $d 1970- 650 0 $a Gay men $z Nigeria $v Biography. 650 0 $a Journalists $z Nigeria $v Biography. 650 0 $a Homosexuality $z Africa. 650 7 $a Black LGBTQ+ people. $2 homoit $0 https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000208 650 7 $a LGBTQ+ discrimination. $2 homoit $0 https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000356 650 6 $a Homosexuels masculins $z Nigeria $v Biographies. 650 6 $a HomosexualiteÌ $z Afrique. 650 7 $a Gay men. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939117 650 7 $a Homosexuality. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959755 650 7 $a Journalists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984188 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 651 7 $a Nigeria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205229 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 2 $a Biography 655 2 $a Autobiography 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Gay autobiographies. $2 homoit $0 https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001731 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718093119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA35727A214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
