520 _aThis intimate study focuses on the everyday lives of working-class women who love women in Ghana. Set in the context of the political, economic and social developments affecting people's lives across Africa, it goes beyond LGBT rights by including desires and intimacies not captured in categories of sexual identity. Serena Owusua Dankwa is an Associate Researcher in the Institute of Social Anthropology and the Interdisciplinary Center for Gender Studies at the University of Berne. She previously held the Sarah Pettit Fellowship at Yale University and worked as a journalist with Swiss Radio and Television. Today, she advocates for the rights and dignity of migrant women and people of colour in Switzerland. She is a co-founder of the Black women's network Bla*Sh and a co-editor of the book Racial Profiling: Struktureller Rassismus und antirassistischer Widerstand (2019).
