Feminist African Philosophy by Abosede Priscilla Ipadeola PDF Summary

Book Description: This book argues that if African philosophy hopes to truly represent the thoughts of Africans across the continent, women's perspectives and gender issues need to be mainstreamed across the discipline. African philosophy emerged as an academic discipline as a direct challenge to Western and Eurocentric hegemonies, seeking to actualise the project of decolonization and to contribute African perspectives to world discourses. However, the field has been dominated by male perspectives. This book argues that, until the androcentric nature of African philosophy is addressed, African philosophy cannot claim to have liberated people of African origin from marginalization. Key concepts such as Ujamaa, Negritude, Ubuntu, and African Socialism are examined in terms of how they impact African women's lives or as theories of inclusion or exclusion from politics. The book also introduces topics which have been overlooked in African philosophy, such as sex, sexuality, rape, motherhood, prostitution, low participation of women in politics, and polygamy. Highlighting the work of notable African feminist scholars such as Sophie Oluwole, Oyeronke Oyewumi, Nkiru Nzegwu, and Louise du Toit, the book will be an important resource for students and researchers of African philosophy and gender studies
