When, why and how can religion and culture be both sources, and places of expression for fundamentalisms, particularly in relation to politics? Those are the central questions asked throughout this book alongside a discussion on the result when religion, strenthened by culture, is used as a political tool to access moral and social power. Cultural and religious messages often form the basis of decisions, laws and programs made in politics, and have a direct effect on society in general, and on women and gender relations in particular. The various forms taken by fundamentalisms in some African countries and the contexts under which they have emerged, the ways in which they (re)shape identities and relationships between men and women are also analysed in this book. These fundamentalisms are frequently sources of concern in social debates, in feminist and feminine organizations as well as in academia and politics. The manipulation of cultures and religions are becoming progressively political, and consequently can cause social discrimination, or even physical, moral, and symbolic violence.

Extrait de la couverture : "Cet ouvrage représente la traduction du livre intitulé 'Engendering African social', issu des travaux d'un atelier organisé par le Codesria en 1991. Son ambition est de jeter les bases d'une analyse pertinente des rapports sociaux entre les sexes. Il propose une critique et des orientations neuves dans les sciences sociales en Afrique. Il fournit en particulier des orientations méthodologiques pour intégrer la perspective relative au genre. Les contributions réunies dans ce volume ont été rédigées selon des approches disciplinaires différentes, mais leur point commun réside dans une volonté affirmée d'opérer une véritable rupture épistémologique dans les sciences sociales africaines. Une telle entreprise est énorme mais les contributeurs ont réussi à relever les défi. En effet, par leur complémentarité et la richesse des regards croisés de spécialistes de nationalités et de générations différentes, ce livre offre uune nouvelle lecture et des catégories originales d'expression de la relation complexe entre genre, sexe et société. Mais ce livre poursuit aussi un combat d'une autre nature, en vue de promouvoir l'égalité entre les sexes et un meilleur accès des femmes au pouvoir et aux ressources. L'approche ainsi retenue est novatrice. Il constituera un outil précieux pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent au processus de production des connaissances en Afrique."
