- Description
- Bibi Bakare-Yusuf investigates how phenomenology can provide an alternative to existing accounts of African female identity and critically outlines some of the ways in which African and Africanist women theorists have analysed women's identities. Author distinguishes approaches which draw attention to hierarchical differences between men and women, and approaches that stress their socially equivalent and complementary status.
