Description: Allah Made Us : Sexual Outlaws in an Islamic African City, Paperback by Gaudio, Rudolf, ISBN 1405152524, ISBN-13 9781405152525, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Gaudio (anthropology, State U. of New York at Purchase) explores the social practices of Nigeria's yan daudu, "feminine men" occupying a social niche that is perhaps analogous to but not exactly the same as gay men in the USA and other Western societies. He describes their social practices as claims to and performances of cultural citizenship that challenge the notion that Islamic or African culture is inherently hostile to or devoid of gender and sexual minorities, as well as the idea that "modern" and "global" constructions of gender and sexuality are inevitably based on Euro-American models.
