In Tanzania and Tunisia, women have made major gains in their struggle for equal political rights, and in Sierra Leone and Liberia women have been at the forefront of efforts to promote peace and reconciliation. While some of these movements have been influenced by international feminism and external donors, increasingly it is African women who are shaping the global struggle for women's rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together African authors who themselves are part of the activist groups, this collection represents the only comprehensive and up-to-date overview of women's movements in contemporary Africa. Drawing on case studies and fresh empirical material from across the continent, the authors challenge the prevailing assumption that notions of women's rights have trickled down from the global north to the south, showing instead that these movements have been shaped by above all the unique experiences and concerns of the local women involved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Balghis Badri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783609087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783609086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2017","brand":"Balghis Badri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45064643346687,"sku":"9781783609086","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9f7dbf3-7a2a-4941-80d7-e9a1ede7298a.jpg?v=1712124732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/womens-activism-in-africa-balghis-badri-9781783609086","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
