Topical sections describe the roles that women play in family, courtship and marriage, religion, work, literature and arts, and government. Each of the six chapters has been structured to elucidate women's roles and functions in society as partners, as active participants, as defenders of their status and occupations, and as agents of change. Authors Nana Akua Amponsah and Toyin Falola present a thought-provoking work that looks at the complicated victimhood\/powerful-female paradigm in women and gender studies in Africa, and challenge ideological interest in African historiography that privilege male representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Falola, Toyin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313385445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Toyin Falola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32972930646091,"sku":"9780313385445","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_3c3cf5ca-9c88-4159-a80f-4729181c6fa7.jpg?v=1606343148","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/womens-roles-in-sub-saharan-africa-9780313385445","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
