In this latest book by the award-winning author of the hugely
influential Male Daughters, Female Husbands, Ifi Admadiume propels
gender relations beyond dichotomies and discriminations, and
towards a power-sharing argument in discourse, contestation and
resistance. Representing the culmination of over 40 years of
ground-breaking work on notions of matriarchy at the intersection
of the Igbo-African universe and the Western capitalist reality,
Amadiume sets forth a blueprint for a bold new matriarchitarianism,
critiquing all forms of social injustice with a shared
matriarchal-relational humanism. In each chapter of the book,
Amadiume applies these principles to a dazzling array of subjects:
from religious leadership, kinship and family relations, to
sexuality, creative writing and matters of conscience in race,
class and gender. African Possibilities explodes our notions of
matriarchy into original and compelling arguments, and offers a
radical alternative approach to the world’s entrenched
injustices.
