It reviews and evaluates African women’s historical, cultural, social, political, economic, religious, private, local, and global lives and activities. Contributors offer a consistent emphasis on debunking erroneous and misleading myths about African women's roles and positions, bringing their previously marginalized stories to relief, and ultimately re-writing their histories. This reference work includes, to the greatest extent possible, the voices of African women themselves as writers of their own stories. The detailed, rigorous and up-to-date analyses in the work represent a variety of theoretical, methodological, and transdisciplinary approaches. This reference work will prove vital in charting new directions for the study of African women, and will reverberate in future studies, generating new debates and engendering further interest.WomenAfrica—HistoryEthnology—AfricaAfrica—Politics and governmentCultureGenderIdentity politicsWomen's Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35040African Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/714000African Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411030African Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911090Culture and Genderhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411210Politics and Genderhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911260Women.Africa—History.Ethnology—Africa.Africa—Politics and government.Culture.Gender.Identity politics.Women's Studies.African History.African Culture.African Politics.Culture and Gender.Politics and Gender.305.4Yacob-Haliso Olajumokeedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFalola Toyinedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910416095303321The Palgrave Handbook of African Women's Studies2088817UNINA
