This article explores the recent emergence of a new subfield within African Studies: not just the study of sexuality in African contexts, but the study of "homosexuality," or same-sex erotics and identities. I will outline some of the events that herald this new era of African Studies, and review some of the current research topics and debates. In the end, I hope to convince readers that this research deserves the support of all activist scholars within African Studies.
