Reviews
"“In recent years, there has been a growing interest in women and gender issues, especially within the ambit of the law in precolonial and postcolonial Africa. The Politics of Gender Reform in West Africa reveals problems, contentions, and negotiations in the creation of these postcolonial laws, which is a valuable contribution to the ongoing scholarship in essentializing women’s voices.” —Bala Saho, author of Contours of Change ""Throughout this short, readable book, Lado focuses particularly on the role of religion, most specifically the views of lay Muslims and Christians and religious leaders from both communities regarding their views of state-proposed gender reform. Recommended."" —Choice"
