This timely and expansive multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary
collection dissects precolonial, colonial, and post-independence
issues of male dominance, power, and control over the female body
in the legal, socio-cultural, and political contexts in Africa.
Contributors focus on the historical, theoretical, and empirical
narratives of intersecting perspectives of gender and patriarchy in
at least ten countries across the major sub-regions of the African
continent. In these well-researched chapters, authors provide a
deeper understanding of patriarchy and gender inequality in
identifying misogyny, resisting male supremacy, reforming
discriminatory laws, embracing human-centered public policies,
expanding academic scholarship on the continent, and more.
Human Trafficking: Global History and Perspectives argues that, far
from being a recent development, human trafficking is rooted in the
history of the human condition and has only been amplified by
globalization. Using a multidisciplinary approach that traces the
historical roots of human trafficking in global history, the
chapters explore case studies from different parts of the world to
show that human trafficking is not only a global phenomenon but a
localized enigma. The contributors contend that the causes, and
thus, the solutions, are rooted in local and regional social,
cultural, political, and economic conditions of victims. The case
studies include global, regional, and local examples to analyze the
complex causes and effects of human trafficking as well as the
legal ramifications.

There is an increasing amount of literature on various aspects of
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325. While appreciating
this scholarship, this volume highlights some of the omissions and
concerns to make a quality addition to the ongoing discourse on the
intersection of gender with peace and security with a focus on
1325. It aims at a reality-check of the impressive to-dos list as
the seventeen years since the Resolution passed provide an occasion
to pause and ponder over the gap between the aspirations and the
reality, the ideal and the practice, the promises and the action,
the euphoria and the despair. The volume compiles carefully
selected essays woven around Resolution 1325 to tease out the
intricacies within both the Resolution and its implementation.
Through a cocktail of well-known and some lesser-known case
studies, the volume addresses complicated realities with the
intention of impacting policy-making and the academic fields of
gender, peace, and security. The volume emphasizes the significance
of transforming formal peace making processes, and making them
gender inclusive and gender sensitive by critically examining some
omissions in the challenges that the Resolution implementation
confronts. The major question the volume seeks to address is this:
where are women positioned in the formal peace-making seventeen
years after the adoption of Resolution 1325?
