It documents the everyday practices that local female actors adopt to deal with the continuous economic, political, and social insecurities that emerge in times of political transformations. Carole Ammann argues that women's political articulations in Muslim Guinea do not primarily take place within women's associations or institutional politics such as political parties; but instead women's silent forms of politics manifest in their daily agency, that is, when they make a living, study, marry, meet friends, raise their children, and do household chores. The book also analyses the relationship between the female population and the local authorities and discusses when and why women's claim making enjoys legitimacy in the eyes of other men and women, as well as representatives of 'traditional' authorities and the local government. Paying particular attention to intersectional perspectives, this book will be of interest to scholars of African studies, social anthropology, political anthropology, the anthropology of gender and urban anthropology, gender studies, and Islamic studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies on gender and sexuality in Africa. 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zGuinea 606 $aPolitical participation$xSex differences$zGuinea 606 $aWomen$zGuinea$xSocial conditions$y21st century 606 $aUrban women$zGuinea$zKankan$xSocial conditions$y21st century 606 $aWomen$xGovernment policy$zGuinea 606 $aUrban anthropology$zGuinea$zKankan 608 $bElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aPolitical participation$xSex differences 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 0$aUrban women$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWomen$xGovernment policy 615 0$aUrban anthropology 676 $a305.42096652 700 $aAmmann$b Carole$0965282 801 0$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910377813403321 996 $aWomen, agency, and the state in Guinea$92190140 997 $aUNINA
