ropolitan Projects: Redefining Blackness, Sexualities, and Cul
ture from Houston to Accra”
This ethnographic study
examines the Afropolitan projects of Ghanaians living in two cosmopolita
n cities: Houston, Texas, and Accra, Ghana. Anima Adjepong’s focus
shifts between the cities, exploring contests around national and pan-A
frican cultural politics, race, class, sexuality, and religion. Focusing
particularly on queer sexuality, Adjepong offers unique insight into th
e contemporary sexual politics of the Afropolitan class.
The book
expands and complicates existing research by providing an indepth transn
ational case study that not only addresses questions of cosmopolitanism,
class, and racial identity but also considers how gender and sexuality
inform the racialized identities of Africans in the United States and in
Ghana. Bringing an understudied cohort of class-privileged Africans to
the forefront, Adjepong offers a more fully realized understanding
of the diversity of African lives.
