Jacana

Jacana Media and Fanele are delighted to invite you to the Cape Town and Johannesburg launches of TRANS: Transgender Life Stories from South Africa. This is the first book of its kind in South Africa and indeed Africa. It takes the reader on a journey into the many worlds inhabited by transgender South Africans, who have come into the spotlight since the Caster Semenya saga began.

The life stories recounted in this collection are both inspiring and compelling and reveal the courage and strength of each of the storytellers involved. The narratives detail the constant challenges of living in a country that, despite its progressive Constitution, is still host to myriad prejudices and misunderstandings when it comes to trans people.

We look forward to welcoming you at the events:
