African Women's Movements - Transforming Political Landscapes (Hardcover): Aili Mari Tripp, Isabel Casimiro, Joy Kwesiga,... African Women's Movements - Transforming Political Landscapes (Hardcover)
Aili Mari Tripp, Isabel Casimiro, Joy Kwesiga, Alice Mungwa
R3,082 Discovery Miles 30 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Women burst onto the political scene in Africa after the 1990s, claiming more than one third of the parliamentary seats in countries like Angola, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Burundi. Women in Rwanda hold the highest percentage of legislative seats in the world. Women s movements lobbied for constitutional reforms and new legislation to expand women s rights. This book examines the convergence of factors behind these dramatic developments, including the emergence of autonomous women s movements, changes in international and regional norms regarding women s rights and representation, the availability of new resources to advance women s status, and the end of civil conflict. The book focuses on the cases of Cameroon, Uganda, and Mozambique, situating these countries in the broader African context. The authors provide a fascinating analysis of the way in which women are transforming the political landscape in Africa, by bringing to bear their unique perspectives as scholars who have also been parliamentarians, transnational activists, and leaders in these movements.

Women's Access to Higher Education in Africa - Uganda's Experience (Paperback): Joy Kwesiga Women's Access to Higher Education in Africa - Uganda's Experience (Paperback)
Joy Kwesiga
R1,703 Discovery Miles 17 030 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book addresses the gender divide in access to higher education and the Ugandan situation. It examines theories of girls' education, human capital, gender inequality and gender-development, bringing views from Africa and its institutions to debates often constructed and conducted in the West. Whilst commending the work of women's movements and NGO's in furthering the educational cause, it criticises fashionable neo-liberal economic/educational policies which are diverting researchers not institutions, thus diminishing local universities and women. The volume also presents the results of a survey of female undergraduates at the University of Makerere, which give rise to discussions about family, societal, and institutional influences on women's access to higher education. This is a welcome book on women in higher education written by an African female academic, insider, and popular and outstanding contributor to the progress of women in higher education in East Africa.
