Beyond Women's Empowerment in Africa: Exploring Dislocation and Agency
This book breaks new ground in understanding how modern society has shaped women’s knowledge system in Africa and deconstructs long-held myths about the position of ordinary women in the construction of knowledge. Using case studies, it historicizes the experiences of ordinary women in Tanzania and looks at how empowerment is used to, paradoxically, eviscerate women’s knowledge systems.
