This book investigates gender and power relations in the Cameroonian parliament using a critical discourse analytical approach, which focuses on social issues and seeks to expose unequal relations within institutions. The study identifies different gendered discourses within the speeches of Members of Parliament and government ministers. Consciously or unconsciously, these participants within parliamentary debates draw on topics that construct women and men in specific ways, sometimes sustaining gender stereotypes or challenging existing conditions. The way men and women are constructed using language also is indicative of gender and power relations within this particular community. The study also looks at the way men and women are constructed using traditional discourses of gender differentiation and how some of these discourses get challenged, appropriated or subverted using progressive gendered discourses that advocate equal opportunities, gender equality and gender partnership in development.

The Routledge Handbook of Language and Politics provides a comprehensive overview of this important and dynamic area of study and research.

The Routledge Handbook of Language and Politics is a vibrant survey of this key field and is essential reading for advanced students and researchers studying language and politics.

This book brings to light work done in the area of gender with a penchant to language within the Cameroonian context. It looks at different domains of gender study where language is a significant variable. It is the very first edited collection that examines language and gender side by side. Contributors draw richly on their current theoretical leanings and on the current gendered discourses within the Cameroonian context to interrogate the interconnections between gender and language through social relationships and interactions. This is a pluri-disciplinary study informed by perspectives from anthropology, sociology and applied linguistics. The book hinges on gender, discourse and social change in historical perspective. Gender and language studies contribute to knowledge of new problems in view of a better understanding of relations between women and men, and its amelioration in the social space. Gender and language studies necessarily incorporate gender and discourse studies. Discourse serves as a unifying factor to these diverse disciplines which bring external support to pure linguistic studies, not only to deepen the understanding of gender but more so to describe how it works in discourse. Here, discourse is seen as being at the centre of gender ideology.

Sports in African History, Politics, and Identity Formation explores how sports can render a key to unlocking complex social, political, economic, and gendered relations across Africa and the Diaspora. Sports hold significant value and have an intricate relationship with many components of African societies throughout history. For many Africans, sports are a way of life, a site of cultural heroes, a way out of poverty and social mobility, and a site for leisurely play. This book focuses on the many ways in which sports uniquely reflect changing cultural trends at diverse levels of African societies. The contributors detail various sports, such as football, cricket, ping pong, and rugby, across the continent to show how sports lay at the heart of the discourse of nationalism, self-fashioning, gender and masculinity, leisure and play, challenges of underdevelopment, and ideas of progress. Bringing together the newest and most innovative scholarship on African sports, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of contemporary Africa, African history, culture and society, and sports history and politics.

These volumes offer a one-stop resource for researching the lives, customs, and cultures of Africa's nations and peoples. Unparalleled in its coverage of contemporary customs in all of Africa, this multivolume set is perfect for both high school and public library shelves. The three-volume encyclopedia will provide readers with an overview of contemporary customs and life in North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa through discussions of key concepts and topics that touch everyday life among the nations' peoples. While this encyclopedia places emphasis on the customs and cultural practices of each state, history, politics, and economics are also addressed. Because entries average 14,000 to 15,000 words each, contributors are able to expound more extensively on each country than in similar encyclopedic works with shorter entries. As a result, readers will gain a more complete understanding of what life is like in Africa's 54 nations and territories, and will be better able to draw cross-cultural comparisons based on their reading.

The densely populated Bamenda Highlands of Cameroon remains one of the regions with the greatest land degradation problems in the country. Factors responsible for this include climate change, the hilly nature or topographic layout of the land, and human interference through overgrazing, destructive agricultural practices and the impact of deforestation. This detailed study of resource management and its ecological challenges in the Bamenda Highlands, stresses an important link between falling food output and soil deterioration. While most areas in this predominantly agricultural region enjoy food abundance, the inhabitants of high-density infertile, rugged mountainous areas are forced to resort to double cropping and intensified land exploitation that leave little room for soil regeneration. The population problem in relation to land degradation is infinitely more complicated than the region's sheer ability to produce enough food supply. The authors make a strong case for a delicate balance between human agency and environmental protection in this highly populated and physically challenging region where land is a precious resource and land conflicts are common.

This volume explores contemporary African women’s creative writing, highlighting their contributions to ecofeminist theology. Contributors address the following questions: How do contemporary African women writers depict the Earth/land/environment and its relationship to women in various contexts? How is religion featured in African women’s writing? How does religious literature (scriptures) form an intertextual layer in African women’s writing? The contributors proceed by analyzing the intersection of religion, gender, class, sexuality, colonialism, and ecology in selected texts written by African women. They bring these texts into conversation with broader eco-feminist theological scholarship, exploring the potential of literary writing to contribute to theological discourse of liberation and social justice in the African and global arena.

In Africa, some heads of state sometimes prefer to take their oath on the Bible or the Quran rather than on an ancestral law or a fearsome fetish capable of causing misery in the event of a violation. Thus, in order to build credible institutions that can guarantee socio-political and economic stability, it is desirable to resort to certain ancestral practices, in particular strict respect for customs. At this level of our reflection, it seems useless for Africans to reinvent the wheel; rather, we must look in the rearview mirror in order to exalt the pre-colonial instruments capable of unravelling the invisible mystery of these societies. In this same dynamic, the ancestral law, because of its historical and charismatic legitimacy, imposes strict respect for the cosmic order. Komoé Guy-Roland Kossonou Assistant Professor, Legal, Administrative and Management Sciences Training and Research Unit (UFR-SJAG) Alassane Ouattara University, Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire There is no way the church leadership can ignore such issues, which affect their people daily, and only talk about the future kingdom to come. Both the sacred and the secular kingdoms are important matters in the life of people in every community, hence religious and political leaders should strive to resolve their conflicts because people look up to them for spiritual and political leadership. When political leaders tell religious leaders to stick to preaching the gospel and not involve themselves in the political affairs of the country, it silences the church’s ability to speak for the poor. Upendo Mwakasenga Ordained minister, United Church of Zambia; Doctoral student in systematic theology, University of Kwa-Zulu Natal Even today, religio-cultural beliefs inform the way the youths are viewed within Zimbabwe’s political circles. Such beliefs infantilize young people and disempower them from effective political participation. In most cases, this role is postponed into the future. The existing political structures and regimes exploit youth to expend their energies as political and military foot soldiers for the political elite, but they are not being mentored to be prepared for positions of leadership. . . It, therefore, becomes crucial to question the maxim “the future is young”, which seems to procrastinate youth political leadership in Zimbabwe. Molly Manyonganise Senior Lecturer, Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy, Zimbabwe Open University Ultimately, God provides and heals, but the fisherman must still cast his net, the farmer must still till the soil and the doctor must still administer medication. It is no different in matters of governance, military warfare, or institution building. Personal piety is inconsequential to the empirical workings of the world, but it may weigh on the scales in the hereafter. The Brotherhood’s fatalism blinds them to the worldly instruments needed to govern a nation. Study and experience in economic policy and statecraft cannot be replaced with saintly endeavours, such as worship and charity. Nabil Yasien Mohamed Lecturer in Islamic Studies, Department of Religion and Theology, University of the Western Cape
