Beyond women's empowerment in Africaexploring dislocation and agency /[electronic resource] :Elinami Veraeli Swai. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2010. - xv, 220 p.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Understanding Dislocation: Concepts and Claims -- Women's Knowledge Systems: toward Ambivalence and Silences -- Speaking through Fashion: Khanga as Women's Knowledge System -- Inside Society: The Role of Women's Knowledge Systems in Africa's Development -- The Genesis of Women Disempowerment:the Case of Kilimanjaro -- Knowledge is Power and Power isKnowledge: The Politics of Women's Empowerment.

This book breaks new ground in understanding how modern society has shaped women's knowledge system in Africa and deconstructs long-held myths about the position of ordinary women in the construction of knowledge. Using case studies, it historicizes the experiences of ordinary women in Tanzania and looks at how empowerment is used to, paradoxically, eviscerate women's knowledge systems.
