The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Africa presents to a broad
readership an accessible, comprehensive, up to date, and topical
comparative analysis of sociological thinking in Africa.
Sociological discourse about African societies has been challenging
and difficult, due to a lack of both comprehensive analyses and
holistic sociological evidence that covers Africa from past to
present times. This Handbook brings together latest analyses of
sociological phenomena from the best scholars working on numerous
thematic areas. It provides contributions that locates African
sociological thinking in historical context and takes a critical
look at its current manifestations across the continent. This
collection builds upon an existing body of literature which has
demonstrated that while the analysis of African societies has long
been an item on the agenda of sociologists worldwide, advances of
the decolonial critique made notably by African scholars in Africa
enhances the scholarship of the sociology of Africa. Thus, the
collection is premised upon the understanding that in order to
understand the sociology of Africa as significant intervention, the
participation and representation of African ways of knowing and
doing is a critical starting point. This Handbook comprises a
series of scholarly and interdisciplinary perspectives on current
debates over how best to unpack sociological imaginations in
African context. The scholarly contributions, therefore, are based
on both perspectives illustrating the importance of specificity in
sociological phenomenon. The Handbook is arranged in seven parts:
Context and Perspectives; Race, Ethnicity, and Religion; Gender,
Sexuality, and Intersectionality; Medical Sociology: Political
Economy and Development; Crime and Violence; and The Family and
Education. Premised on the importance of African ways of knowing
and doing, these chapters offer sociologists, researchers, and
students an invaluable starting point for a fuller understanding of
African sociology.
