Featuring contributions from some of the most accomplished scholars
on the topic, Holding the World Together explores the rich and
varied ways in which women have wielded power across the African
continent, from the precolonial period to the present. Suitable for
classroom use, this comprehensive volume considers such topics as
the representation of African women, their role in national
liberation movements, their experiences of religious fundamentalism
(both Christian and Muslim), their incorporation into the world
economy, changing family and marriage systems, impacts of the world
economy on their lives and livelihoods, and the unique challenges
they face in the areas of health and disease. Contributors: Nwando
