| In this latest book by the award-winning author of the hugely influential Male Daughters, Female Husbands, Ifi Admadiume propels gender relations beyond dichotomies and discriminations, and towards a power-sharing argument in discourse, contestation and resistance. Representing the culmination of over 40 years of ground-breaking work on notions of matriarchy at the intersection of the Igbo-African universe and the Western capitalist reality, Amadiume sets forth a blueprint for a bold new matriarchitarianism, critiquing all forms of social injustice with a shared matriarchal-relational humanism. In each chapter of the book, Amadiume applies these principles to a dazzling array of subjects: from religious leadership, kinship and family relations, to sexuality, creative writing and matters of conscience in race, class and gender. African Possibilities explodes our notions of matriarchy into original and compelling arguments, and offers a radical alternative approach to the world's entrenched injustices. *** *** Inhaltsverzeichnis *** PART 1 VOICING *** Chapter One, Prophecy, Authenticity, Oppositional Models of Resistance in Africa *** Chapter Two, African Perspectives on Religious Conscience and the Global Economy *** Chapter Three, Culture and Religious Traditions of Gender and Development in Africa: Gendering Civil Society and the State *** Chapter Four, The Endogenous Project And A Struggle for Culture and Voice *** PART 11 ALTERNATIVES *** Chapter Five, Citizenship, Rights and Freedoms in Contesting Religious Narratives of Gods and Goddesses *** Chapter Six, Mama Asta: an African Muslim matriarchy in Senegal *** Chapter Seven, Bodies, Choices, Globalizing NeoColonial Enchantments: African Matriarchs and Mammy Water *** PART III POSSIBILITIES *** Chapter Eight, Gender, Culture and the Family in Africa *** Chapter Nine, Matriarchy and the Postcolonial: Possibilities and Disenchantments *** Chapter Ten, Sexuality, African Religio-Cultural Traditions and Modernity: Expanding the Lens*** Chapter Eleven, Writing for Justice, Seeking Inclusiveness, Implicating the World *** Chapter Twelve, Postscript or Afterword: Progressing with Matriarchitization *** | |
