总结: | "Drawing on a wide range of oral and written sources, this book shows that women occupy a central place in the religious worldview and life of the Yoruba people and shows how men and women engage in mutually beneficial roles in the Yoruba religious sphere. It explores how gender issues play out in two Yoruba religious traditions - indigenous religion and Christianity in Southwestern Nigeria. Rather than shy away from illuminating the tensions between the prominent roles of Yoruba women in religion and their perceived marginalization, author Oyeronke Olajubu underscores how Yoruba women have challenged marginalization in ways unprecedented in other world religions."--Jacket Machine generated contents note:1.Concepts and Theories on Women in Yoruba Religious Sphere --2.Women in Yoruba Culture and Society --3.Women in Yoruba Christian Tradition --4.Identity, Power, and Gender Relations in Yoruba Religious Traditions --5.Women and Rituals in Yoruba Religion. |
