Sexuality and Gender Politics in Mozambique Re-Thinking Gender in Africa

A unique and immensely valuable anthropological and historical study (that) should be considered vital to discussions both of the modern history of Mozambique and of gender politics in southern Africa and beyond. LUCAS BULLETIN The book is impressive on many fronts. To name two: as a narrative tracing changes in her thinking on gender in Africa over the years, it is a stellar example of a working scholar's self-reflexivity; and instructors seeking to introduce students to the complex, ongoing and productive debate concerning the efficacy of feminist theory in the African context will find the book very useful. CANADIAN JOURNAL OF AFRICAN STUDIES Makes a welcome contribution to Mozambican studies and will also interest feminists, especially those unfamiliar with the works of African feminist scholars.
