Book excerpt: This book is unique in its approach in that each chapter covers women in their everyday lives and the problems, which concern them. Until now, ethnographic research has almost always been carried out with the help of the male population and as a result the picture that has emerged has been largely the image, which the men, and the men alone, have of their society.

Book Synopsis Conflict and Harmony in Education in Tropical Africa by : Godfrey N. Brown
Download or read book Conflict and Harmony in Education in Tropical Africa written by Godfrey N. Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-19 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1975, this book was something of a pioneering study. It examines the three main traditions of African educational development – indigenous, Islamic and ‘Western’ – and the resulting harmonies and conflicts that arise from these traditions. Its contributors are all specialists writing about their own particular area of interest covering many countries of tropical Africa. They include a number of well-known African scholars as well as some comparatively new names in the field of African Studies at the time. A feature of the book is the attention that it gives to the education of women – an aspect of ‘nation-building’ that had often been rather neglected. This study is an inter-disciplinary work, calling into contribution History, Sociology, Anthropology, Law, Linguistics, and Medicine, as well as Education. It seeks to show how complex the educational situation is in Africa – and how this complexity needs to be appreciated as a background to educational planning. Nobody who has read this volume will be inclined to dismiss educational reform in Africa as ‘a relatively simple matter’ – a point of view too frequently implied by those who have not studied the subject in depth. ‘Off with the old – on with the new’ cannot be so easily implemented as critics within and without the continent sometimes seem to think. More constructively, however, this volume provides many useful insights into ways in which social tension may be reduced and harmony promoted in, and through, education. Although it is likely to be of most immediate value to those who are concerned with African education and its administration (especially in teacher-education), the book constitutes a significant contribution to understanding problems of ‘development’.

Download or read book African Women written by Davis Bullwinkle and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1989-01-23 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of a planned three-volume bibliography that aims to 'bring together all the English language publications written about women in Africa during the United Nations Decade for Women.' It includes books, monographs, government reports, articles from journals and collections of essays, conference papers, and US dissertations. The entries are organized in 32 subject sections ranging from agriculture to women and their children. . . . This bibliography is useful in providing a variety of references on African Women in one source and especially in including reports of international organizations. Choice The roles and needs of African women have been largely neglected in Third World policy-making by governments and international organizations despite the existence of recent research providing the basis and justification for new policies. This work, the first volume of a three-part bibliography, makes that research available to researchers and policy-makers. Focusing on works with a broad application, it provides comprehensive listings of resources relating to the situation of women in Africa. The bibliography is divided into 32 subject categories covering topics ranging from marriage and family issues to work, legal rights, politics, the arts, and urban life. Devoted to original English-language research works, it includes journal articles, book chapters, theses and dissertation, conference papers, and individual books on women in Africa and the Third World. Useful supplementary listings are supplied in appendices. A significant contribution to African studies and the social sciences, African Women will help focus attention on the considerable body of research findings on this topic. Appropriate for reference collection in African studies, Third World studies, anthropology, sociology, political economy, and a variety of other fields.

Book Synopsis Women's Roles in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Toyin Falola
Download or read book Women's Roles in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Toyin Falola and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exhaustive exploration of the sociocultural, political, and economic roles of African women through history demonstrates how African women have shaped—and continue to shape—their societies. Women play essential, critical roles in every society; African women south of the Sahara are certainly no different. Women's Roles in Sub-Saharan Africa adds significantly to our understanding of the ways in which women contribute to the fabric of human civilization. This book provides an in-depth exploration of African women's roles in society from precolonial periods to the contemporary era. Topical sections describe the roles that women play in family, courtship and marriage, religion, work, literature and arts, and government. Each of the six chapters has been structured to elucidate women's roles and functions in society as partners, as active participants, as defenders of their status and occupations, and as agents of change. Authors Nana Akua Amponsah and Toyin Falola present a thought-provoking work that looks at the complicated victimhood/powerful-female paradigm in women and gender studies in Africa, and challenge ideological interest in African historiography that privilege male representation.
Download or read book Women in Africa written by Nancy Hafkin and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1976-06-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of papers-all but one previously unpublished-presents the results of recent field research in the disciplines of history, political science, anthropology, sociology, and economics. The chief emphasis here is on change: on viewing African women as agents of change from the first arrival of Europeans to the present; and on seeking to change the perspective from which African women have been studied in the past. The papers encompass settings as diverse as eighteenth-century Senegal and contemporary Mozambique. Politically and socially, too, the local settings are various, including an Igbo village, the marketplaces of Abidjan and Accra, a development scheme in rural Tanzania, the churches of Freetown, and the streets of Mombasa. The contributors are Iris Berger, James L. Brain, George E. Brooks, Jr., Margaret Jean Hay, Barbara C. Lewis, Leith Mullings, Kamene Okonjo, Claire Robertson, Filomina Chioma Steady, Margaret Strobel, and Judith VanAllen.
