Widow Inheritance and Contested Citizenship in Kenya unpacks how respectable femininities and wayward sexualities become the sites within which national and state politics are ritualized and where tensions resulting from non-hegemonic performances of both gender and sexuality are resolved. The empirical research that underpins this book is qualitative and grounded in feminist methodology, challenging the erasure of womens narratives in hegemonic epistemologies.Widow Inheritance and Contested Citizenship in Kenya will be of interest to students and scholars of African gender studies and women's rights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51812634493216,"sku":"NEW0367077671","price":87.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51SmqNyY0iL.jpg?v=1781028832","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/widow-inheritance-and-contested-citizenship-in-kenya-routledge-studies-on-gender-and-sexuality-in-africa-0367077671","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
