Gender and Development in Africa and Its Diaspora, Paperback / softback Book

Gender and Development in Africa and Its Diaspora Paperback / softback

Edited by Akinloye Ojo, Ibigbolade S. Aderibigbe, Felisters Jepchirchir (University of Georgia) Kiprono

Part of the Routledge African Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book considers how the establishment and/or improvement of gender equality impacts on the social, economic, religious, cultural, environmental and political developments of human societies in Africa and its Diaspora.

An interdisciplinary team of contributors examine the role of gender in development against the background of Africa’s convoluted and arduous history of state formation, slavery, colonialism, post-independence, nation-building and poverty.

Each chapter highlights and stimulates further discussion on the struggles that many African and African Diaspora societies grapple with in the perplexing issue of gender and development - concentrating on gains that have been made and the challenges yet to be surmounted.
