Nigerian writer Catherine Obianuju Acholonu presents “Motherism,” her Afrocentric framework for examining women’s roles through motherhood, community, cooperation, and care for the natural world.

Published as Volume 3 of the Women in Environmental Development series, the book contributes to debates about African women’s experiences and the relationship between African cultural perspectives and Western feminist thought.

This copy bears a personal presentation inscription reading, “To Everett Hoagland with compliments from the author,” followed by a signature and the date “2-11-99.” The inscription connects Acholonu directly with the American poet, making this a distinctive literary association copy.
