Gender and Sexuality in Ghanaian Societies explores cultural
dynamics embedded in the interstices of agency, vulnerability, and
power within patriarchal structures that seek to regulate the
sexual lives of women in Ghana. Emphasizing the centrality of
gender as a motive force for sexual expression, the book stresses
that contemporary Ghanaian women's sexual expressions are caught at
the intersection of traditional gender expectations of
heteronormativity and women's perceptions of how heteronormativity
should operate in their lives. The book's emphasis on women's
agency is significant because it highlights a flaw in earlier,
Western accounts of African women's lives under Africa's special
brand of patriarchy that held women in total subjection to men.
Gender and Sexuality debunks that trope and presents Ghanaian
women's dynamism, resilience, and vulnerabilities embedded in the
diverse cultures in which they live.
