The payment of \u003ci\u003elobola\u003c\/i\u003e (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 \u003ci\u003elobola\u003c\/i\u003e in contemporary southern African communities for gender equality. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-02-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030595258\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-59523-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 378\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45589609939084,"sku":"9783030595258","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030595258.jpg?v=1774142757","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030595258","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
