Este volumen explora los múltiples significados e implicaciones de lobola en el sur de África. El pago de lobola (a menudo traducido de forma controvertida como "pago por noviazgo") es una práctica arraigada en la mayoría de las sociedades del sur de África. Aunque tiene una larga tradición, últimamente ha habido voces que cuestionan su relevancia en la época contemporánea, mientras que otras defienden con vehemencia la práctica. Este libro reúne a una variedad de académicos de diferentes disciplinas académicas, contextos nacionales, instituciones, géneros y orígenes étnicos para debatir la relevancia de la lobola en las comunidades contemporáneas del sur de África para la igualdad de género. |

| Summary : |
This volume explores the multiple meanings and implications of lobola in Southern Africa. The payment of lobola (often controversially translated as 'bridewealth') is an entrenched practice in most societies in Southern Africa. Although having a long tradition, of late there have been voices questioning its relevance in contemporary times while others vehemently defend the practice. This book brings together a range of scholars from different academic disciplines, national contexts, institutions, genders, and ethnic backgrounds to debate the relevance of lobola in contemporary southern African communities for gender equality. |
