This book examines the underexplored notion of epistemic
marginalization of women in the African intellectual place. Women's
issues are still very much neglected by governments, corporate
bodies and academics in sub-Saharan Africa. The entrenched
traditional world-views which privilege men over women make it
difficult for the modern day challenges posed by the neglect of the
feminine epistemic perspective, to become obvious. Contributors
address these issues from both theoretical and practical
perspectives, demonstrating what philosophy could do to ameliorate
the epistemic marginalization of women, as well as ways in which
African philosphy exacerbates this marginalization. Philosophy is
supposed to teach us how to lead the good life in all its
ramifications; why is it failing in this duty in Africa where the
issue of women's epistemic vision is concerned? The chapters raise
feminist agitations to a new level; beginning from the regular
campaigns for various women's rights and reaching a climax in an
epistemic struggle in which the knowledge-controlling power to
create, acquire, evaluate, regulate and disseminate is proposed as
the last frontier of feminism.
