African Women and Political Development: A Case Study of Etsako Women in Edo State, NigeriaExtrait de la couverture : "This book holds that African women have traditionnaly held roles in society, that are different from those of men, and complimentary to them. Among them has been the right of women to voluntarily take part in political deliberations and to fulfill some political roles assigned to them. However, Ojior sees a deliberate consiparcy by Western women and their backers to undermine the integrity of the social structure of Etsako by introducing an alien value system that pits the Etsako woman against her male counterpart. This tren is seen by the author to generate disharmony between sexes in Etsako. This change in the African women's role can disrupt the delicate equilibrium reflected in the rules of social differentiation in the etsako society." |
