This first title in the series brings together the work from
leading names in gender studies in Africa. The papers tackle
subjects such as the merits and demerits of Eurocentricism, African
epistemologies and cultures, colonial legacies, postcolonial
realities, and other challenges in articulating African feminism
and gender research.
Changing Narratives of Sexuality engages with women's sexuality
exploring marginal as well as dominant stories in which sexuality
may figure overtly or covertly as the subject. This impressive
collection brings together a broad range of arenas in which
sexuality is embedded. From storytelling to women's engagement
within institutions in the state, the narratives of unmarried women
and stories of religious influence on women's subjectivities and
sexualities, stories on television and in print media. Sexuality is
explored in a wide range of national contexts in the global South -
Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Egypt, Nigeria, Palestine, South Africa.
Exploring these different narratives of sexuality, told by and
about women, the book examines tensions and contradictions in the
constructions of gender, sexuality, and women's empowerment, and
analyses what scope exists for women to subvert repressive norms
and conceptions of heterosexuality, in varying disciplinary and
geopolitical contexts.
