This book examines the interplay between religion, politics, gender and sexuality in Zimbabwe, which constitute the core of human life and behavior. More specifically, the book looks at women's sexuality and the body politic during and after Zimbabwe's liberation struggle; gendered poverty, production and wealth creation; homosexuality in both the public and private spheres; religio-political and economic patronages; gendered cyber victimization; the trapping of women in gendered tradition, culture, religion and power politics; and gendered literatures and metaphors. The book's findings are critically important, especially when it comes to African societies, where any association with any religion, political party and even social clubs has been gendered and sexualised to bar women from playing any participative role. They cut across disciplines and cultures to empower people in theory and practice.
