This exhaustive exploration of the sociocultural, political, and
economic roles of African women through history demonstrates how
African women have shaped-and continue to shape-their societies.
Women play essential, critical roles in every society; African
women south of the Sahara are certainly no different. Women's Roles
in Sub-Saharan Africa adds significantly to our understanding of
the ways in which women contribute to the fabric of human
civilization. This book provides an in-depth exploration of African
women's roles in society from precolonial periods to the
contemporary era. Topical sections describe the roles that women
play in family, courtship and marriage, religion, work, literature
and arts, and government. Each of the six chapters has been
structured to elucidate women's roles and functions in society as
partners, as active participants, as defenders of their status and
occupations, and as agents of change. Authors Nana Akua Amponsah
and Toyin Falola present a thought-provoking work that looks at the
complicated victimhood/powerful-female paradigm in women and gender
studies in Africa, and challenge ideological interest in African
historiography that privilege male representation. Describes
chronological events in women's lives covering precolonial to
postcolonial Africa Includes photographs of powerful women in
colonial Africa; arts such as bead-making, pottery, and basketry;
contemporary women in politics; and more Lists significant
bibliographical materials from historical, anthropological,
ethnographical, and sociological sources
