<p><img alt="transfabel meint:" src="/images/transfabel-meint.png" style="height:18px; width:100px">Dieses Buch legt die Inter* Geschichte mit Fokus auf Südafrika dar, beginnend mit rassistisch geprägter Forschung und Falschbehauptungen aus Kolonial- und Apartheids-Zeiten, an denen trotz gegenteiliger Beweise hartnäckig festgehalten wurde. Die Autorin hat u.a. Interviews geführt mit der Anti-Apartheid- und Inter*-Aktivistin Sally Gross und berichtet von der Entstehung der Inter*-Bewegung in Südaftrika und Inter*-Aktivismus in weiteren afrikanischen Ländern. Auch der Behandlung von Schwarzen inter* Sportler*innen und insbesondere Caster Semenya ist ein Kapitel gewidmet. Das Buch ist akademisch geprägt, aber insgesamt gut lesbar und sehr informativ.

<p>Verlagsbeschreibung:</p>

<p>Since the 1600s, travelers, scientists, and doctors have claimed that “hermaphroditism” and intersex are disproportionately common among black South Africans. In <em>Envisioning African Intersex</em> Amanda Lock Swarr debunks this claim by interrogating contemporary intersex medicine and demonstrating its indivisibility from colonial ideologies and scientific racism. Tracing the history of racialized research that underpins medical and scientific premises of gendered bodies, Swarr analyzes decolonial actions by intersex South Africans from the 1990s to the present, centering the work of organizers such as Sally Gross, the first openly intersex activist in Africa and a global pioneer of intersex legislation. Swarr also explores African social media activism that advocates for intersex justice and challenges the mistreatment of South African Olympian Caster Semenya. Throughout, Swarr shows how activists displace doctors’ impositions to fashion self-representation. By unseating colonial visions of gender, intersex South Africans are actively disrupting medical violence, decolonizing gender binaries, and inciting policy changes.<br>
