Full Description
This book focuses on African gender and sexuality, and systems of knowledge emanating from studying and researching them. It challenges conventional narratives by examining the complexities of gender and sexuality within the African Humanities, and explores the fluidity and diversity of gender identities, questioning traditional norms and embracing the ambiguous and contradictory nature of human sexuality. The book is transdisciplinary in nature, with contributors analysing data from literature, media, and cultural practices, and offering fresh perspectives on issues such as sexism, patriarchy, and the representation of women in digital spaces. It will be of interest to those in the field of African gender studies, gender in humanistic disciplines and gender and sexualities in general.
