New Women of Lusakaexamines how educated young women in Zambia’s capital city are adapting to their new social and occupational status in society. The challenges that result from rapid social change appear through vivid descriptions of family, school, and social life in modern Lusaka.The author clearly shows how difficult and painful the process of culture change can be for individuals who become caught up in it through circumstances largely beyond their control.

Cultural traditions do adversely affect the education of many people in the world. Women are, unfortunately, the most affected victims of their culture. This book demonstrates how cultural traditions can militate against the education of women in Zambia with a focus on the Tumbuka tribe. The evidence at hand demonstrates that patrilineal groupings are strongholds of the patriarchal predisposition and patriarchal attitudes and cultural traditions do not recognize women as equal partners with men. The Tumbuka women’s experiences and beliefs reflect socio-cultural traditional norms that tend to limit gender equality, and compel women to accept and justify male domination at the expense of their own status and to regard consequent inequalities as normal. Evidence demonstrates that the initiation rites, an active institution for girls of pubescent age, interfere more with the school-based education of girls. The women are active social agents as well as passive learners who will not allow the girls they are coaching to question the purpose for some traditional practices that are oppressive and directly cause them to fail to complete their schooling successfully.

It is a fact that men in Zambia have a lower life expectancy at birth and higher death rates during adulthood than women. Many of the health problems that men face could be prevented, or even cured, with early medical intervention or a change in lifestyle.However, boys who are brought up to believe that "real men don't get sick" may see themselves as invulnerable to illness or risk. When they actually fall ill, they may put up with the sickness or seek healthcare only as a last resort. It may be an archaic stereotype, but nagging from women is the main reason for Zambian men to get their health checked out.Popular culture may paint men as the stronger sex, but from the moment a boy is born, his life is more likely than his sister's to be cut short. Across national and cultural boundaries, men die an average of seven years earlier than women.The questions that this book tries to answer are: - Why do men die young in Zambia? - Why is life expectancy low for Zambian men?- Have Zambian men accepted low life expectancy?- Are social-economic challenges the reasons men die young?- Is it health reasons men die young?- What are the impacts of fatherlessness on families?- Are there solutions to why men die early and early?- What is the secret of long life?- Do Zambian men matter, and why?Mortality is non-negotiable. But the number of years you get-not to mention the way you spend them-can, in many ways, be up to you.

One of the most significant dimensions of gender studies is that it is political. It raises questions about power in society and how and why power is differentially distributed between different genders. It asks questions about who has power over whom, in which situations, how power is exercised, and how it is, and can be, challenged. Different theories and perspectives within gender studies have different approaches to these questions and look for answers in different social processes. Many debates are on-going, as new data is revealed and new theories are put forth. Understanding Gender in the African Context is a scholarly reference that explores the complexities of the ideologies and social patterns that contribute to the field of gender studies. Featuring a range of topics such as human rights, feminism, and social media, this book is ideal for policymakers, sociologists, social scientists, civil society organizations, government officials, academicians, researchers, and students.
