- 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.

- Description
- Author focuses on the sexual politics of zina, adultry, and the selective recognition by Sharia implementers of some expressions of illicit sex, and not others, as a sexual crime. While the Sharia does not explicitly name zina as transgressive heterosexuality, it is clear from significant elements of its conceptualisation, that is, its status as consensual sex between a man and who are not married to one another and that the source of its transgression is its occurence outside marriage.
