Reviews
"This book is a must read for scholars and activists, interested in the post-modern debate on Gender Studies in Africa. The multi-disciplinary essays provide timely, refreshing and provocative illustrations of the philosophical and epistemological complexities, challenges and dilemmas endemic to universal theory building. It is a constructive critique of the flaws, inherent in Eurocentric and androcentric scholarship that have dominated studies of gender in Africa and represents a culmination of the process of deconstruction and revision. The contributors successfully interject African-based concepts, explanatory paradigms and experiential knowledge into the various strands of the dominant feminist discourse."--Filomina Steady, Wellesley College "For the diversity and renown of its authors as well as the breadth of its topical coverage, this book deserves a wide reading. Its subject matter, African gender studies, is important not only for Africa but also for its ability to affect both the discourse about and action on global issues dealing with gender, 'development,' and social and economic justice. " -- Cheryl Johnson-Odim, Dean, School of Liberal Arts & Sciences, Columbia College, Chicago and author of For Women and the Nation: Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti of Nigeria . "This collection should be read by all interested in a truly international gender analysis and feminist theory and scholarship."--Rhoda Reddock, The University of the West Indies and author of Women, Labour and Politics in Trinidad and Tobago: A History "[African Gender Studies] is a timely addition to the growing literature on the subject and will be a welcome addition to scholars, activists, students and a wider public, particularly across Africa "--Takyiwaa Manuh, University of Ghana, Legon, "This book is a must read for scholars and activists, interested in the post-modern debate on Gender Studies in Africa.

Among those issues are the construction of gender in different African contexts, innovative development strategies, the role of the African academic, pedagogies in the North and South, insider and outsider perspectives, and revisionist historiography. This volume should be required reading for all students of Africa and its diaspora.' - Betty J. Harris, University of Oklahoma 'For the diversity and renown of its authors as well as the breadth of its topical coverage, this book deserves a wide reading.
