520    "Amphibious Subjects is an ethnographic study of a 
       community of self-identified effeminate men-known in local
       parlance as sasso-residing in coastal Jamestown, a suburb 
       of Accra, Ghana's capital. Drawing on the Ghanaian 
       philosopher Kwame Gyekye's notion of "amphibious 
       personhood," Kwame Edwin Otu argues that sasso embody and 
       articulate amphibious subjectivity in their self-making, 
       creating an identity that moves beyond the homogenizing 
       impulses of western categories of gender and sexuality. 
       Such subjectivity simultaneously unsettles claims 
       purported by the Christian heteronationalist state and 
       LGBT+ human rights organizations that Ghana is 
       predominantly heterosexual or homophobic. Weaving together
       personal interactions with sasso, participant observation,
       autoethnography, archival sources, essays from African and
       African-diasporic literature, and critical analyses of 
       documentaries such as the BBC's The World's Worst Place to
       Be Gay, Amphibious Subjects is an ethnographic meditation 
       on how Africa is configured as the "heart of homophobic 
       darkness" in transnational LGBT+ human rights imaginaries"
