Acknowledgments

An earlier version of the first research profile in chapter 2, “Lukas Avendaño: Reflections from Muxeidad,” was published on Siwar Mayu: A River of Hummingbirds (http://siwarmayu.com/). I would especially like to thank Mario Patiño, the very talented photographer, for use of the stunning photographs. An earlier version of the second research profile for chapter 2, “Queering Pan-Africanism,” was published on Africa Is a Country, “*Not the Continent with 55 Countries” (https://africasacountry.com/about).
