A COMPELLING STORY CELEBRATING THE RESILIENCE OF TWO WOMEN AS THEY
NAVIGATE WHAT REMAINS A STRONGLY PATRIARCHAL NIGERIA "I absolutely
loved his book. Nwabulu and Julie are incredible, fully formed and
fully flaw, characters that walk straight off the page and nestle
in your heart as you read on." Simon Savidge, The Frank Magazine
Nwabulu has been a housemaid since the age of ten but her dreams of
becoming a typist are never weakened by the endless chores she is
tasked with by her employers. She has fallen in love with a rich
man's son. Julie is a modern woman, educated and independent. She
has no intention of becoming love-struck Eugene's second wife but
allows herself to enjoy his extravagant gifts. When dramatic events
force Nwabulu and Julie into a dank room, the two women relate the
stories of their contrasting experiences as they await their fate.
Set against four decades of Nigerian history, The Son of the House
is a stunning debut pulsing with vitality and intense human drama.
The globalisation of research has resulted in the increased
location of research involving humans in developing countries.
Countries in Africa, along with China and India, have seen research
grow significantly. With emerging infectious diseases, such as
Ebola and Zika, emphasising the risk of public health crises
throughout the world, a further increase in health research,
including clinical research in developing countries, which are
often the sites of these diseases, becomes inevitable. This growth
raises questions about domestic regulation and the governance of
health research. This book presents a comprehensive and systemic
view of the regulation of research involving humans in African
countries. It employs case studies from four countries in which
research activities continue to rise, and which have taken steps to
regulate health research activity: South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya,
and Egypt. The book examines the historical and political contexts
of these governance efforts. It describes the research context,
some of the research taking place, and the current challenges. It
also looks at the governance mechanisms, ranging from domestic
ethical guidelines to legal frameworks, the strengthening of
existing regulatory agencies to the role of professional regulatory
bodies. The book analyses the adequacy of current governance
arrangements within African countries, and puts forward
recommendations to improve the emerging governance systems for
health research in African and other developing countries. It book
will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers,
practitioners and policy-makers working in the areas of health
research, biomedical ethics, health law and regulation in
developing countries.
