Author Description

Beyond Tradition: African Women and Cultural Spaces contains 23 chapters that mirror the diversities in the lives and experiences of African women, both within and outside the continent, both in the public sphere and in the home. The survey departs from earlier works because of its unique conceptualisation scope, and orientation. It is based on a multidisciplinary approach - the authors' backgrounds range from history, literature, drama, religion, journalism, sociology, philosophy and geography.
