Gender Violence in Africa
African Women's Responses
by December Green
"December Green analyzes acts of gender violence as they occur in one region, to uncover the dynamics that both perpetuate the abuses and enable women to survive them. She compares the effects of gender violence throughout sub-Saharan Africa to illustrate the range of experiences between and within the countries of the region, and she describes gender violence itself as a multilayered phenomenon operating within three contexts: the family, the economy, and the state.
This study offers a unique perspective on human rights violations because instead of focusing only on the abuses themselves or describing how African women can be saved, Green recognizes women's agency as an essential aspect of the study of gender violence."--BOOK JACKET.
