F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

It relates strongly to the evaluation of public policies and gender equality by parliaments, as it is about Gender responsive budgeting.

New book on transformative practice

Sharing details of my new book; I think (hope?) members will find it thought-provoking... how can we evaluate 'gender transformation' if we are not clear on what it is we want to transform? CAN we work on gender in isolation, if we are serious about tackling inequity and 'no one left behind'?

Thanks for sharing your book. What are you most proud of about this book?

Wow... that's an interesting question, Rituu! I'm proud that I wrote it at all, & got it published... -)

Above and beyond that, I'm not sure 'proud' is the right word but I am very happy to be able to fly the flag for practical wisdom, and for work that really engages with where people are (not where 'we' think they should be).

Hope that answers your question!
