This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive handbook is the first reference of its kind bringing together knowledge, scholarship, and debates on themes and issues concerning African women everywhere. It unearths, critiques, reviews, analyses, theorizes, synthesizes and evaluates African women’s historical, social, political, economic, local and global lives and experiences with a view to decolonizing the corpus. This Handbook questions the gendered roles and positions of African women and the structures, institutions, and processes of policy, politics, and knowledge production that continually construct, deconstruct, and reconstruct African women and the study of them. Contributors offer a consistent emphasis on debunking erroneous and misleading myths about African women's roles and positions, bringing their previously marginalized stories to relief, and ultimately re-writing their histories. Thus, this Handbook enlarges the scope of the field, challenges its orthodoxies, and engenders new subjects, theories, and approaches. This reference work includes, to the greatest extent possible, the voices of African women themselves as writers of their own stories. The detailed, rigorous and up-to-date analyses in the work represent a variety of theoretical, methodological, and transdisciplinary approaches. This reference work will prove vital in charting new directions for the study of African women, and will reverberate in future studies, generating new debates and engendering further interest.

Book excerpt: A Nigerian woman scholar addresses three main areas of literature in gender and women's studies, a discipline which has become a vast field of research, teaching and activism in Africa and beyond. She situates African women's studies in the context ofinternational feminism, regional political and institutional conditions. The study addresses recent publications in the general field of state and politics, from precolonial times to the present; reviews a range of material grouped under the heading of cultural studies; and considers the historical and contempoary literature on all aspects of women's involvement in various sphers of work and the economy. Finally, the author questions the relationship between women's studies and the women's movement in Africa.

Book excerpt: In recent decades Africa has emerged as a sporting giant. The African sporting phenomenon has been addressed in the popular press and it has also attracted scholarly interest; however, this interest is almost entirely focussed on men. Yet women’s participation in recreational and elite sport is worthy of exploration and research. This path-breaking collection of essays provides an introduction to a variety of dimensions of women’s participation in African sports. Several key concepts are addressed in the book: women and media, women and sport-migration, sport and empowerment, sporting and social development, women’s sport and postcolonial Africa, and professional sport and economic development. This collection, authored by established scholars, will attract readership from students from Sports Studies to African Studies and from undergraduate students to university teachers. This book was published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last century, the social and economic roles played by African women have evolved dramatically. Long confined to home and field, overlooked by their menfolk and missionaries alike, African women worked, thought, dreamed, and struggled. They migrated to the cities, invented new jobs, and activated the so-called informal economy to become Africa's economic and social focal point. As a result, despite their lack of education and relatively low status, women are now Africa's best hope for the future. This sweeping and innovative book is the first to reconstruct the full history of women in sub-Saharan Africa. Tracing the lot of African women from the eve of the colonial period to the present, Catherine Coquery-Vidrovitch explores the stages and forms of women's collective roles as well as their individual emancipation through revolts, urban migrations, economic impacts, social claims, political strength, and creativity. Comparing case studies drawn from throughout the region, she sheds light on issues ranging from gender to economy, politics, society, and culture. Utilizing an impressive array of sources, she highlights broad general patterns without overlooking crucial local variations. With its breadth of coverage and clear analysis of complex questions, this book is destined to become a standard text for scholars and students alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does our understanding of Africa shift when we begin from the perspective of women? What can the African perspective offer theories of culture and of gender difference? This work, as unique and insightful today as when it was first published, brings together a wide variety of African academics and other researchers to explore the links between literature, popular culture and theories of gender. Beginning with a ground-breaking overview of African gender theory, the book goes on to analyse women's writing, uncovering the ways different writers have approached issues of female creativity and colonial history, as well as the ways in which they have subverted popular stereotypes around African women. The contributors also explore the related gender dynamics of mask performance and oral story-telling. This major analysis of gender in popular and postcolonial cultural production remains essential reading for students and academics in women's studies, cultural studies and literature.

Download or read book Transnational Transgressions written by M. Bahati Kuumba and published by . This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Ijaw and Itsekiri women in Nigeria's coastal Delta State occupied five oil facilities owned by Chevron-Texaco in July, 2002, demanding that this transnational corporation contribute to the community from which it has exploited resources for decades, they joined this tributary of African women's struggle and transformative resistance. After confining company employees at the plant for days and confronting management around their devastating economic and environmental activities, they won compromises and reforms. More importantly, these women were simultaneously confronting and contesting neocolonial economic relations, political subjugation and multiple patriarchal structures. Their actions were reminiscent of the revolt of their own Nigerian foremothers, in 1929, against the British government in what became known as the Aba revolt. Women of African descent throughout the African continent and in the diaspora are linked through their legacied and contemporary expressions of struggle and resistance against multiple forces of oppression. From the "Cape to Cairo" and beyond, African women's activism has been significant in the pursuit of social transformation and change on multiple levels-personal, local, regional, national and international sites. From their particular race/class/gender standpoints, African women have played transformative roles in society as activists at multiple sites simultaneously and on the personal, community, national, and transnational levels. This often submerged and varied militancy forged by African women in diverse contexts and social locations forms the foundation of this collection of essays. The original essays in the volume emphasize the diverse, yet interconnected, expressions of African and African diasporan women's agency from both scholarly and activist standpoints. The collection charts new ground by combining and building upon scholarship on gendered globalization, transnational social movements, and African/African diasporan women's studies and acknowledges a common context of struggle calling for the formation of strategic solidarities between African women to forge social change and transformation on multiple levels.

Download or read book African Feminism written by Gwendolyn Mikell and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African feminism, this landmark volume demonstrates, differs radically from the Western forms of feminism with which we have become familiar since the 1960s. African feminists are not, by and large, concerned with issues such as female control over reproduction or variation and choice within human sexuality, nor with debates about essentialism, the female body, or the discourse of patriarchy. The feminism that is slowly emerging in Africa is distinctly heterosexual, pronatal, and concerned with "bread, butter, and power" issues. Contributors present case studies of ten African states, demonstrating that—as they fight for access to land, for the right to own property, for control of food distribution, for living wages and safe working conditions, for health care, and for election reform—African women are creating a powerful and specifically African feminism.
