Negotiating Patriarchy and Gender in Africa
A 2022 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title Negotiating Patriarchy and Gender in Africa: Discourses, Practices, and Policies examines the entrenchment of patriarchy in Africa and its attendant socioeconomic and political consequences on gender relations. The contributors analyze the historical and modern ways in which gender expectations have enabled women in African societies to be systematically abused and marginalized, from unpaid labor to poor representation in decision-making areas. Exploring regions such as rural Uganda, the suburbs of Zimbabwe, the Gold Coast, South Africa, and Nigeria, contributors incorporate a wide range of academic theories and disciplines to establish the need for improved policy implementation on gender issues at both the local and national government levels in Africa.

Capacity-building for Knowledge Generation
"This book contains seven chapters, each of which presents one of more cases of action learning or capacity development. These cases have engaged the research and non-governmental communities in diverse settings in -- mostly -- Africa. All aimed to strengthen intellectual engagement and the culture of enquiry, as part of a knowledge translation process. This means that not only knowledge institutes and researchers participated but also problem owners, policymakers, practitioners, advocates and other end-users of research."--Publisher.
Mediations of Violence in Africa
This book analyses the violence of recent African wars from the perspectives of African people who experienced and witnessed it. Central to it are the words of (male) Somali poets, Zulu singers, impoverished Kenyan youth, and white South African war veterans, as well as men and women trying to refashion their lives and relationships in post-war Mozambique and Rwanda. Purposefully interdisciplinary, this volume brings together scholarly approaches ranging from cultural and medical anthropology, social/cultural history, and cultural and performance studies.
Anthropologie medicale
Comme les autres sciences sociales, l'anthropologie se heurte à la mondialisation des phénomènes sociaux qui gagne en ampleur, en intensité et en complexité maintenant. Les analyses que propose l'anthropologie ne peuvent certes faire l'impasse sur ces transformations sociales majeures. En proposant à des anthropologues de renom, spécialisés en anthropologie médicale, de produire une synthèse des recherches et des enseignements dans leurs pays respectifs, d'une part, ou d'aborder quelques thèmes plus généraux, d'autre part, les responsables de cet ouvrage visent en quelque sorte à globaliser l'anthropologie médicale pour qu'elle soit en phase avec les questions dont elle traite. C'est aussi leur espoir que ces articles contribuent à un élargissement des perspectives qui sera utile aussi bien aux chercheurs chevronnés qu'aux étudiants qui s'initient à ce domaine de l'anthropologie contemporaine.
