Reviews
"A riveting account of widows' rites and rights! The statistics are staggering and the stories undeniably authentic, yet remarkably visceral. There is no doubt, the time for an optional protocol to CEDAW to end all forms of violence against widows is yesterday." --Eleanor Nwadinobi, president of the Widows Development Organisation and the Medical Women's International Association, A brilliant, compelling collection that forces us to rethink the predicaments and experiences of widows and, through the lens of their lives, review our assumptions and theories of gender relations, power, and property in Africa. A smart, comprehensive introduction frames this must-read, must-teach volume., "A brilliant, compelling collection that forces us to rethink the predicaments and experiences of widows and, through the lens of their lives, review our assumptions and theories of gender relations, power, and property in Africa.

Synopsis
This interdisciplinary volume on widowhood in Africa offers in-depth perspectives on a previously underexplored subject. Empirical case studies from across the continent make the book an excellent resource for teaching gender studies in African contexts., The collected essays in Pathos and Power provide a critical exploration of widowhood in Africa through a series of historical and contemporary case studies. The book challenges a simplistic understanding of widowhood by highlighting how the experience varies according to age, class, race, religion, and geographic location. The contributors investigate how the category of widowhood can obscure or reveal various social dynamics while demonstrating the diversity of material, symbolic, and embodied circumstances faced by African widows. The volume considers the forces shaping the lives of widows by examining the structural and legal challenges they encounter, including discriminatory practices in social, economic, and political spheres. Through discussions of precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial contexts, it explores the intersections of custom, law, patriarchy, and feminism while delving into the potentially liberatory opportunities that widowhood sometimes presents. The book also raises broader questions about gender, personhood, marriage, autonomy, and national identity, emphasizing how widowhood informs key conceptual debates in African studies. Editors Joanna Davidson and Benjamin N. Lawrance bring together scholars across such fields as anthropology, gender studies, history, law, and political science. The authors employ a range of methodologies, including archival research, ethnography, and storytelling, to illuminate widowhood in new and innovative ways. The volume's rich empirical studies and theoretical insights offer a valuable resource for scholars seeking to understand widowhood and its broader implications in African societies.
