Current Advances in Contraceptive Use, Technology, and Promotion
There is a high unmet need for effective contraception in Sub-Saharan Africa, with low rates of contraceptive use. While this situation has persisted over the last three decades, improvements in contraceptive utilization rates would lead to many high-fertility countries harnessing the demographic dividend. Promotion of modern contraceptive use has resulted in long-term returns on investment such as fertility decline, increases in girl-child education, employment, and women empowerment, household-level socio-economic improvement, as well as averted unintended pregnancies, maternal morbidity, and mortality. With the advances in contraceptive technology, the global agenda of FP2030, SDGs 2030, ...
African Indigenous Knowledges in a Postcolonial World
This book argues that ancient and modern African indigenous knowledges remain key to Africa’s role in global capital, technological and knowledge development and to addressing her marginality and postcoloniality. The contributors engage the unresolved problematics of the historical and contemporary linkages between African knowledges and the African academy, and between African and global knowledges. The book relies on historical and comparative political analysis to explore the global context for the application of indigenous knowledges for tackling postcolonial challenges of knowledge production, conflict and migration, and women’s rights on the continent in transcontinental African contexts. Asserting the enduring potency of African indigenous knowledges for the transformation of policy, the African academy and the study of Africa in the global academy, this book will be of interest to scholars of African Studies, postcolonial studies and decolonisation and global affairs.

Focusing on examples from Africa, this diverse collection presents to a broad readership an accessible, comprehensive, up to date, and topical analysis of sociological thinking in Africa. Sociological discourse about African societies has been challenging and difficult, due to a lack of both comprehensive analyses and holistic sociological evidence that covers Africa from past to present. This Handbook locates African sociological thinking in historical context and takes a critical look at its current manifestations across the continent.
