Qualitative research methodologies on sexualities and gender in Africa
J BENNETT & C PEREIRA (EDITORS)
This book explores a research methodology suited to carrying out in-depth case studies of the dynamics of gender and contemporary sexual cultures in Africa. The chapters cover broad-ranging issues and include questions about what it means to research topics that are unpopular or fraught with the sense of the taboo that underpins much work in sexualities and gender studies. Overall, the diverse pieces within the collection offer the opportunity to see qualitative research not as the ‘poor cousin’ of quantitative studies but as a zone which raises intellectual and political challenges.
