ABSTRACT
The text is an interview with Melibea Obono, an author and gay rights campaigner from Equatorial Guinea, who discusses in frank terms neocolonialist attitudes and the background of anti-gay feeling in her home country. The exercises call for discussion on the achievement of sexual equality and the debt of colonial powers to their former colonies. Work on vocabulary additionally calls attention to words used in the Spanish of Equatorial Guinea. Grammar ranges over conditional sentences, the use of the subjunctive to express concession (although…) and the discrimination of the verbs estar and haber. Production exercises give the opportunity for the reporting of personal research on the recent history and present situation of Equatorial Guinea and the expression of opinion on the role of women and men in feminist movements.
