| This book provides a contribution to the field of gender and development in the face of the looming failure of international development targets, the deepening HIV/AIDS pandemic and the increased incidence of civil conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa. The ambition of the collection is to question assumptions behind much development policy and practice and to push out conceptual boundaries by providing critical insights from local empirical studies that bring new theoretical configurations to specific policy and practice contexts. The chapter contributions are from African and 'Northern' writers who have critically engaged with the ways that gendered and sexual identities are produced in particular educational and social settings in this diverse continent. After providing a consolidation of the field, the book highlights its departures from earlier work on gender, education, society and development to open spaces that provide a springboard for further research and critique around persistent and enduring development issues. Following two introductory chapters, the text is organised in four main sections: I. Gendered institutions: Schooling of girls in early 19th century Sierra Leone (Fiona Leach) * Everyday live in junior secondary schools in Botswana and Ghana (Máiréad Dunne) * Normalising sexual violence in a Nigerian college of education (Salihu Bakari / Fiona Leach). II. Sexualities: Multiple masculinities in the Botswana classroom (Sara Humphreys) * Indian girls and the construction of boys, sexuality and race (Deevia Bhana / Rob Pattman) * Male, black, queer: negotiating identities in South Africa (Eric M. richardson and Brent E. Archer) * The impact of sexual abuse on ghanaian schoolgirls' family relationships (Linda Dzama Forde / Warren Hope). III. HIV/AIDS: A review of policy and interventions in Eastern and Southern Africa (Changu Mannathoko) * Heterosexual masculinities in the South African context of HIV/AIDS (Shakila Reddy /Máiréad Dunne) * Teacher identity and the challenge of teaching about, and within the context of HIV/AIDS (Jean Baxen) * Teaching human sexuality in higher ecucation: Western Kenya (Jennifer Wanjiku Khamasi / Chi-Chi Undie). IV. Conflict: Gender, sexuality and education: examining issues in conflict contexts (Jackie Kirk) * Gender and conflict in northern Uganda (Carolyne Dennis /Alicia Fentiman) * Girls in post-conflict setting: males, education, and girl-to-girl bonding (Donna Sharkey) * Forced migration and cultural transformation: Northern Sudan (Rogaia Abusharaf). | |
