520    "Since the early seventeenth century, travelers, 
       scientists, and doctors have falsely claimed that 
       "hermaphroditism" and intersex are disproportionately 
       common among Black South Africans. Envisioning African 
       Intersex debunks these claims and interrogates how 
       contemporary intersex medicine is embedded in colonial 
       ideologies and scientific racism. Amanda Lock Swarr 
       centers the insights of activists such as Sally Gross, the
       first openly intersex activist in Africa and a global 
       pioneer of intersex legislation. She also examines the 
       case of Caster Semenya, whose 800m world championship in 
       2009 was followed by a decade-long public scrutiny of her 
       gender and forced experimental medical interrogations. The
       volume celebrates African intersex activists' strategies 
       for inciting policy and protocol changes. Visual 
       representations are one of the primary ways ideas about 
       raced intersex are manipulated by doctors and reclaimed by
       activists, so each chapter evaluates photographs, drawings,
       films, videos, medical imaging, and memes. Envisioning 
       African Intersex exposes the citational chains of 
       erroneous raced claimed that underpin medical premises 
       about so-called "hermaphroditism," and unseats them with 
       activists' challenges to medical violence and 
       articulations of new decolonial visions of gender"--
