<div>Three decades of feminist research have shown that gender is a socio-cultural and historical construct. Yet much of the development in the field of Gender Studies is based on European and North American experiences.<i> African Gender Studies: Theoretical Questions and Conceptual Issues</i> is a necessary corrective to this longstanding problem. The anthology brings African knowledge to bear on ongoing global engagement with gender and allied concepts; feminism, women's rights, human rights, globalization, development and social transformation. Bringing together classic and new writings, this comprehensive text includes articles that speak to a range of debates in the field of women's studies and African studies, as well as those that address issues in various disciplines including history, literary studies, philosophy, sociology, and anthropology. Between these covers are the essential readings in the interdisciplinary field of African Gender Studies.<br></div>
