| book description |

This book surveys a broad panorama of Christian and African traditions to discover and assess the components that will illuminate and motivate a Christian and African ethic of womenâ€™s political participation. The authorâ€™s primary lens for diagnosing the problems faced by women in Africa is Engelbert Mvengâ€™s concept of â€œanthropological povertyâ€ that results from slavery and colonialism. It affects women in unique ways and is exacerbated by the religious and cultural histories of womenâ€™s oppression. The author advocates an interplay between the sacredness of every individualâ€™s life, a salient principle of Christian ethics, and the collective consciousness of solidarity distinctive to African cultures. This interplay can, in turn, foster a more enlightened approach to African masculinity. Using a â€œsophialogicalâ€ hermeneutic, this in-depth study undertakes a moral imagination through narrative criticism. It argues that the existential reality of African women must be addressed as an essential element in the development of Christian socio-political ethic. The righteous, solidaristic, and resistant anger of women can transform patriarchy and inform Catholic social teaching. The author draws on The Circle of concerned African women theologians, postcolonial theorists, inculturation theology, African males, and Jon Sobrino's liberation theology to present an innovative Christian ethic that will radically affect the lives of African women and inform feminist theology.
