Beads and strands2002

"Although some essays have been published in earlier works, everything in this volume has been carefully revised and, in some cases, abridged. Oduyoye takes great pains to bring Akan and other African traditions into correlation with Biblical stories and show the reader how African wisdom offers deep insights into timeless episodes and themes. Above all, Beads and Strands gives us access to how one of Africa's most noted women sees the state and roles of women in Africa today."--BOOK JACKET.
