Motherism - An Afrocentric Alternative to feminism
By Professor Catherine Acholonu
Afa Publications (PMB 5197,Nigeria, Abuja) 1995; ISBN 9783199714
The 144-page book ex-rays the place and role of the
African woman in various parts of the continent from the traditional
perspectives showing the cultural differences and the changes brought about
through colonialism and the Western and Eastern Religions. It demonstrates
through the analyses of African traditional way of life, her Art and
pre-historic cave paintings, that the traditional role of the African Woman
was essentially that of a Matriarch and a social nurturer; and her status
ranged from that of royalty and leadership to that of a goddess, a
priestess, a soldier and a quintessential partner to the man in the
traditional African Society.
