あらすじ・解説
On this episode, i discussed how Akwaeke Emezi explored the tension between Nigerian cultural traditions and the individual expression of queerness so realistically, it brought tears to my eyes. I especially appreciate how this novel highlight the larger issue of how Nigerian society, which is deeply rooted in heteronormative and patriarchal structures, struggles with accommodating non-conformist identities.The main points of this review/discussion are:
- Navigating queer existence in a homophobic society.
- Exploration of gender fluidity.
- The role of hair as symbolism.
- sexuality and secrecy
- internalised homophobia and shame.
- Spirituality and mysticism.
I hope you enjoy this episode as much as i did.
