Studies in literature and religion are particularly vulnerable to
accusations of subjectivity and bias, because by their very nature
they deal with subjectivities and people's perceptions of their own
identity. In the past, on the basis of a patriarchal worldview,
literature and religion were seen as value-free and neutral, and a
gendered perspective was not taken into account. Today, an
increasing amount of research is revealing the gendered fault-lines
in works of fiction and in religious beliefs. This volume showcases
the diversity and depth of research that is currently taking place
on the African continent in this field. The specifically African
gendered experience is brought to the fore, through the critical
discussion of proverbs, oral histories, resistance, and male
dominance. Gender, Literature and Religion in Africa highlights
continuing gender bias, often at the level of the sub-culture.
