Here, she features the stories that most affected her, chronicling her own journey toward sexual freedom. We meet Yami, a pansexual Canadian of Malawian heritage, who describes negotiating the line between family dynamics and sexuality. There's Esther, a cis-gendered hetero woman studying in America, by way of Cameroun and Kenya, who talks of how a childhood rape has made her rebellious and estranged from her missionary parents. And Tsitsi, an HIV-positive Zimbabwean woman who is raising a healthy, HIV-free baby. Across a queer community in Egypt, polyamorous life in Senegal, and a reflection on the intersection of religion and pleasure in Cameroun, Sekyiamah explores the many layers of love and desire, its expression, and how it forms who we are. In these confessional pages, women control their own bodies and pleasure, and assert their sexual power. Capturing the rich tapestry of sex positivity, The Sex Lives of African Women is a singular and subversive book that celebrates the liberation, individuality, and joy of African women's multifaceted sexuality"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $x Sexual behavior $z Africa. 650 0 $a Women, Black $x Sexual behavior $z Africa. 650 0 $a Sex $z Africa. 941 $a 5 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033029.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20221008011000.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014944.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220507010715.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220309010109.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95A436C29F7611ECBC2E855C59ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
