The African 1 lumanities Series is a partnership betw een l hiisa
Press and the African Humanities Program of the American

covers topics in African histories, languages, literatures, and
cultures. Submissions are solicited from Fellows of the
African Humanities Program (AIIP). which is administered
by the American Council ofLcarned Societies and financial!)
supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
The purpose of the AHP is to encourage and enable
production of new knowledge by Africans in the fixe
countries designated by Carnegie Corporation: Ghana.
Nigeria. South Africa. Tanzania, and Uganda. AIIP
fellowships support one year s work free from leaching and
other responsibilities to allow the Fellow to complete the
project proposed.
Successfully completed manuscripts are submitted to the
AFIP editorial board, which chooses manuscripts to he
forwarded to UN ISA Press. In some eases, the AHP board will
commission substantive editing and/or re-organisation of
manuscripts.
The African I lumanities Series aims to publish works of the
highest quality that will foreground the best research being
done by emerging scholars (w ithin five years of receiving
their Pli.D. degree, which is the A11 P s eligibility
requirement). The rigorous selection process before the
fellowship award, as well as AIIP editorial vetting of
manuscripts, assures attention to quality. Books m the series
are intended to speak to scholars in Africa as well as in other
world areas.
The AHP is also committed to prov iding a copy of each
publication in the series to every university library in Africa.
bpi a paucity of scholarship
Gender Terrains in African Cinema reflects on a body of canonical
African filmmakers who address a trajectory of pertinent social issues.
Dipio analyses gender relations around three categories of. female
characters - the girl child, the young woman and the elderly woman and
their male counterparts. Although gender remains the focal point in this
lucid and fascinating text, Dipio engages attention in her discussion of
African feminism in relation to Western feminism. With its broad appeal
to African humanities, Gender Terrains in African Cinema stands as a
unique and radical contribution to the field of (African) film studies,
which until now, has si
diversity
