Gender Studies/Airican Studies/Anthropology
This book illuminates the complex and constantly shifting social and cultural dynamics that shape
people’s identity. Specifically, the volume focuses on the intersections of gender with, culture and
identity, and at different historical epochs; on the way men and women define themselves and are
defined by diverse peoples and cultures across time and space in sub-Saharan Africa.The discussions
presented in this anthology primarily focus on ‘being’ as a state’ or ‘condition’, defined by sex identity,
and how this identity shifts, and hence ‘becoming’, assuming diverse meanings in disparate societies,
contexts, and time. The discourse, therefore, moves from how the perception of the self in cultural
and historical contexts has informed actions and at some other times shaped interpretations given
to historical facts, to how changing economic realities also shape the definitions and constructions
of social and relational issues in Sub-Saharan Africa. The historical trajectories of Islamic religion,
colonialism and Christian missionary activities in sub-Saharan Africa have shaped the worlds of the
peoples of the region and impacted on gender relations.
“Being and Becoming is a collection of thought-provoking chapters that will excite
both academics and the general reader alike. The content spans a wide range of
contemporary issues, challenging many dominant discourses of African people. Its
breadth and scope provides several new insights into the related phenomena of gender
and identity in the continent today.
Sylvia Tamale, Professor of Law, Makerere University, Uganda
"The contributors to this volume examine issues of gender in a variety of African
contexts, using a diverse range of disciplinary and thematic approaches. It is a rich
addition to the ever-growing scholarship on gender in Africa."
Lynn M. Thomas, Professor, Department of History, University of Washington
“Focusing on diverse themes, the chapters discuss the intersection between gender
and identity, religion, historical narratives, labour and sexual identities. Although the
articles tend to focus mostly on women, the volume provides the reader a vigorous
engagement with the various forms and shades in which culture has interpreted,
shaped, reshaped and defined African women and men’s identities.”

Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, Mozambique
