The result is an original and wide-ranging investigation of the gendered nature of historical memory and its influence on the development of the region over the past 150 years. Shetler’s exploration of these oral traditions and histories opens exciting new vistas for understanding how women and men in this culture tell their stories and assert their roles as public intellectuals—with important implications for research in African and gender studies, and the history of ethnicity and nationalism.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 673gAuthor: Jan Bender ShetlerGenre: HistoryBook Series: Women in Africa and the DiasporaTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Social Sciences, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
