Boy-Wives and Female-Husbands: Studies in African Homosexualities
Edited by Stephen O. Murray and Will Roscoe
The following book was one of the first of its kind to grapple with the question of same-sex relationships/patterns in pre-colonial Africa. It manages to dispel the myth that same sex relationships are foreign to the shores of Africa. Examples from the book demonstrate that sexual and gender fluidity has been a part of Africa long before colonialism.
Pictures above(taken from appendix) highlight the terms used in various ethnic groups to express same-sex patterns.
