Title of the research Proposal: GENDER DYNAMICS IN THE SELECT NOVELS OF CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE, SEFI ATTA AND CHIKA UNIGWE Introduction: Gender is a social and cultural construct which is used to look at roles and behavior of men and women. The gender issues are centered on experiences of men and women as member of the society. A general assumption is that gender issues are the issues affecting women, who mainly focus on the relationship between men and women to the social, political and economic structure of the society. Gender has wide set of characteristics that form a basis of distinction between male and female entities, extending from one’s biological sex to other in humans, one’s social role or gender identity. Gender plays vital role in determining and analyzing the relationships between men and women with respect to their roles, privileges, status and positions. Therefore, gender issues are means in understanding and learning more about the behavior of men and women in society and the tribulations and opportunities that each face in doing those activities. In male dominated society gender plays crucial role in oppressing, exploiting and subjugating female, and in giving them inferior treatment.

  • Continuity and Change in San Belief and Ritual: Some Aspects of the Enigmatic ‘Formling’ and Tree Motifs from Matopo Hills Rock Art, Zimbabwe
    Continuity and change in San belief and ritual: some aspects of the enigmatic ‘formling’ and tree motifs from Matopo Hills rock art, Zimbabwe Siyakha Mguni A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, for the degree of Master of Arts. Johannesburg 2002 ii Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own work unless otherwise acknowledged. It is being submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university. This 14th day of April , 2002 iii Preface Voyage of discovery This study was motivated by a personal revelatory experience I had when, in April 1995 shortly after I joined the National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe as a trainee archaeologist and monuments inspector, I first encountered one of the most spectacular rock art sites in Matopo Hills (hereafter called Matopo1), and, perhaps, in southern Africa. And little did I realize that this experience heralded my future career. This site is Nanke Cave on the eastern part of Matobo National Park. Ironically, although I had read about the Drakensberg paintings as part of my Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Zimbabwe, I had never heard of or seen a picture of Nanke paintings. It was a two‐hour walk to the site, but one filled with surprises as we strolled through dramatic ‘castle‐kopjes’ and gigantic ‘whalebacks’ called dwalas (isi‐ Ndebele word for bare granite domes, Plate 1) typical of this landscape. Located in Matabeleland South Province of southwestern Zimbabwe within the granite belt of Zimbabwe (Map 1), Matopo (Appendix 1 Map 1) comprises 3, 000 million years old granites.

  • Education and Boko Haram in Nigeria
    SECURITY, STRATEGY, AND ORDER APRIL 2020 FROM “WESTERN EDUCATION IS FORBIDDEN” TO THE WORLD’S DEADLIEST TERRORIST GROUP EDUCATION AND BOKO HARAM IN NIGERIA MADIHA AFZAL FROM “WESTERN EDUCATION IS FORBIDDEN” TO THE WORLD’S DEADLIEST TERRORIST GROUP EDUCATION AND BOKO HARAM IN NIGERIA MADIHA AFZAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Boko Haram — which translates literally to “Western education is forbidden” — has, since 2009, killed tens of thousands of people in Nigeria, and has displaced more than two million others. This paper uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine the relationship between education and Boko Haram. It consists of i) a quantitative analysis of public opinion survey data, and ii) a qualitative approach, including interviews conducted with students, education officials, journalists and practitioners in the field of countering extremism during a September 2019 field visit to Nigeria, as well as a study of textbooks and curricula and a review of the broader historical narratives in the country. Boko Haram arose in Nigeria’s northeast, which is mostly Muslim and has poor educational outcomes relative to the south. The ideology of Boko Haram’s founder, Mohammad Yusuf, explicitly attacked Western education as well as Nigeria’s democracy and its constitution. Boko Haram’s focus on education is unique among peer jihadist movements. The terrorist group did not emerge in a vacuum: Yusuf capitalized on grievances that already existed in Nigeria’s north against the country’s Western education system. These grievances rest on several factors. First, there is a lack of northern buy-in for the Nigerian state’s post-colonial, federally-imposed Westernized system of education.
