African feminists are not, by and large, concerned with issues such as female control over reproduction or variation and choice within human sexuality, nor with debates about essentialism, the female body, or the discourse of patriarchy. The feminism that is slowly emerging in Africa is distinctly heterosexual, pronatal, and concerned with \"bread, butter, and power\" issues. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors present case studies of ten African states, demonstrating that--as they fight for access to land, for the right to own property, for control of food distribution, for living wages and safe working conditions, for health care, and for election reform--African women are creating a powerful and specifically African feminism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gwendolyn Mikell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081221580X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812215809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Gwendolyn Mikell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482060841215,"sku":"9780812215809","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7565a58d-83b1-4856-b5a9-12078a7fca45.jpg?v=1715988456","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/african-feminism-gwendolyn-mikell-9780812215809","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
