What might gender justice look like in matrilineal Malawi? Ideas
about gender and human rights have exerted considerable influence
over African policy makers and civil society organisations in
recent years, and Malawi is no exception. There, concerted efforts
at civic education have made the concepts of human and women's
rights widely accessible to the rural poor, albeit in modified
form. In this book, Jessica Johnson listens to the voices of
ordinary Malawian citizens as they strive to resolve disputes and
achieve successful gender and marital relations. Through nuanced
ethnographic description of aspirations for gender and marital
relationships; extended analysis of dispute resolution processes;
and an examination of the ways in which the approaches of chiefs,
police officers and magistrates intersect, this study puts
relationships between law, custom, rights, and justice under the
spotlight.
