The article thus contests an "emerging, but synthetic narrative of precarious woman's land rights in Acholi" in Western-oriented feminist discourse and male-centred traditionalist discourse alike and brings a pragmatic African feminist approach to a topic that, as Okot shows, is often misunderstood or wilfully misinterpreted. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
