Kuchu is a word (plural: kuchus), apparently of Swahili origin, that encompasses all LGBTIQ+ identities. The best translation to English would be 'Queer'. Originally a derogatory name for a homosexual, "kuchu" has been reclaimed by some in the LGBTIQ+ community. The stories in this book - spanning across multiple genres and transcending time and space - deliberately center the voices and experiences of femmes, queer women and non-binary folks. So if that's what you are looking for, you found it. Enjoy!
