"The new essays in Engendering Human Rights represent a varied group of distinguished scholars, activists, and practitioners, and incorporate gendered perspectives on the formulating, monitoring, reporting, and implementation of human rights in Africa and the African Diaspora. Contributors to Engendering Human Rights - including Nawal El Saadawi, Obioma Nnaemeka and Joy Ezeilo - tackle issues ranging from reproductive rights, immigration, religion, and spousal abuse to cultural imperatives, legal reform, and the arts. Engendering Human Rights is an excellent resource for scholars in human rights, public health, literature, gender/women's studies, cultural studies, and African studies"--Jacket.
