Description

This volume focuses on African indigenous women legends and their potential to serve as midwives for gender empowerment and for contributing towards African feminist theories.

It considers the intersection of gender and spirituality in subverting patriarchy, colonialism, anthropocentricism, and capitalism as well as elevating African women to the social space of speaking as empowered subjects with public influence.

The chapters examine historical, cultural, and religious African women legends who became champions of liberation and their approach to social justice.

The authors suggest that their stories of resistance hold great potential for building justice-loving Earth Communities.

This book will be of interest to scholars of religion, gender studies, indigenous studies, African studies, African-indigenous knowledges, postcolonial studies, among others.
