In this edited volume, Nigerian scholars from a variety of
disciplines examine the relationship between gender and Nigeria's
pathways of development in the last 100 years of its nationhood.
This analysis is set against the background of unequal power
dynamics between women and men, and specifically the ways in which
social, cultural, political, and economic construction of gender
has influenced Nigeria's course of development through her colonial
and post-colonial history. The influence of the nature of economic
governance, policy, and institutional frameworks, the nature of
resource availability and (re)distribution between women and men in
terms of goods and services, knowledge and skills, policies and
budgets, and the outcomes and impacts for women and men are seen in
terms of women's economic empowerment, equal participation and
development benefits. This rich collection of empirical works
therefore provides not just the rhetoric but the evidence to indict
gender power relations in Nigeria, especially at the institutional
level. This volume unpacks and explores this recurrent problem with
a the goal of identifying new pathways for gender relations.
