About this Item

204 pp., bibliography. "Rediscoursing African Womanhood in the Search for Sustainable Renaissance: Africana Womanism in Multi-Disciplinary Approaches" provides a dynamic approach to the missing link in the approaches to literary and gender studies on the African/Zimbabwean experience! The collection of essays challenges readers and researchers on the African experience to educate themselves about African cultural perspectives on womanhood, relationships and philosophy of life first in order to avoid inappropriate labeling, prejudicial assessments and misconceptions about the African indigenes and Africans in the Diaspora. Apart from broadening perceptions on gender, the liberating aspects of the theory of Africana Womanism, the forte for this powerful and evocative volume, show the African man and woman freely pursuing and upholding the African agenda for Africa's cohesion, development and revitalisation. This book is redolent of critical alternatives on gender grounded in African cultural mapping of reality. The challenge for scholars, therefore, is to intellectualise beyond established ways of conceptualising phenomena. There could be nothing more liberating than "self-naming and self-defining"!.
