This is the second in a projected three-volume series which will be
the standard for the English-speaking world when completed. This
series will constitute a major, comprehensive bibliography of
English-language works (over 4,100 will be cited in all) on women
in Africa for the period 1976-1985; a follow-up volume (targeted
for publication in 1993) will cover the years 1986-1990. . . . In
Volumes 2 and 3, arrangement is by subject within both regional and
national categories. Items are cross-referenced for maximum
coverage. . . . Required for college and university libraries
supporting African studies programs. Choice As a result of the
United Nations General Assembly's proclamation that the years 1976
to 1985 would be designated The United Nations Decade for Women,
Equality, Development and Peace, there has been a proliferation of
scholarly research on the status of women, and African women in
particular, following a world conference in Mexico City in 1975.
This bibliography brings together many English-language
publications written about women in Northern, Western, and Central
Africa during that decade. As part of a three-volume set this work
includes materials divided into general subjects as well as
regional and national topics. Bullwinkle begins by describing the
problems of women in Africa and the Third World. The extensive
introduction provides a fascinating overview of the gains achieved
by women since 1976, and discusses the inequalities that continue
to exist. Presented in a logically arranged format, the citations
include difficult-to-find materials such as articles appearing in
edited books and journals, Masters theses, Ph.D. dissertations,
conference papers, and monographs. Entries are cross-referenced by
subject heading, covering such timely issues as cultural roles,
divorce, equality and liberation, fertility and infertility,
marital relations, religion and witchcraft, sex roles, and mass
media. Examining a broad spectrum of social concerns pertaining to
women, this comprehensive work greatly expands the availability of
previously inaccessible information, and opens new avenues for
research. Unlike any other reference in the field, Women of
Northern, Western, and Central Africa represents a unique
contribution to scholarship in the social sciences and African and
women's studies, and, with its two companion volumes, contains the
largest amount of material published on the subject to date. It
will be an invaluable addition to all libraries, and a useful tool
for those engaged in further research on the problems of the
oppressed and underprivileged.
