is just as central in black/queer/diaspora literature beyond America's borders (Walcott in Johnson and Henderson, 2005). Our Caribbean: A Gathering of Lesbian and Gay Writing from the Antilles, edited by Thomas Glave, is just as powerfully read as a diasporic text as an Antillean one, and while mostly from the 1990s and 2000s, includes work from as far back as 1956 that reveals, like much of Glave's own beautifully evocative lyrical writing, that 'home' in (and out of, and returning back to) the Caribbean is also a troubled space. Of course Canadian/Trinbagonian Dionne Brand's critically acclaimed oeuvre also layers (im)migration, diaspora, dispacement and longing. While there is a growing number of works on Africa that sympathetically engage sexuality, including those of Marc Epprecht, Neville Hoad and the working group's own Graeme Reid, the impressive collection edited by Sylvia Tamale, African Sexualities: A Reader (which is more of a comprehensive reader on sexualities rather than specific to homosexualities and trans identities) has opened the way for more work highlighting African sexual minorities and gender insurgents from the perspectives of black African activists. As the work of photographer and activist Ajamu X and the community arts organization rukus! shows, Britain continues to be a hotbed of black/queer/diaspora work. This of course follows the work of British artists like filmmaker Isaac Julien, Nigerian photographer Rotimi FaniKayode, and critical cultural scholar Kobena Mercer, whose work in the late 1980s and 1990s spoke pointedly and engagingly to black queer culture across three continents, before focusing more particularly on visual art. This brilliant and provocative work parsed the political and conceptual consequences of gender, racial and sexual difference, nationality, ethnicity and aesthetics within Britain and beyond. Moreover, popular forms of Africentricity - another iteration of earlier pan-African movements - are also well represented in black lesbian and gay culture in Britain and the United States of America.
