There is a paradigm shift in the discussion of the "Other" in the Nigerian gender discourses away from discourses that usually capture the battle of the sexes between the misogynic and feminist writers. This book analyzes the emergence of Queer Literature as a category of gender discourse and the challenges it poses to the Nigerian society in relation to its codes of morality. Capitalizing on the possibility for the codes of morality adopted by an individual to be different from the ones adopted by the society, the study focuses on how Nigerian Queer Literature embodies the conflict between "Individual" and "Group" morality in the Nigerian society as reflected in two of the earliest Nigerian queer novels: Jude Dibia's Walking with Shadows and Chinelo Okparanta's Under the Udala Trees
