Summary: If you only read one African studies book, ever...
Comment: Read this! Amadiume teaches about ancient matriarchal cultures in Africa, and the diverse and well-respected roles of women in Africa before colonialism.

Traditional African religions were often woman-centered or non-preferential with regard to gender. Amadiume chronciles the "masculinization" of religion, dating from the intriduction of Christianity and Islam.

I had the privilege of taking a class with Professor Amadiume at Dartmouth where we used this book. It is absolutely fascinating reading, even for someone like myself who had no background in African studies.
