While many studies of Maathai highlight her activism, few examine Maathai as a scholar whose contributions to various disciplines and causes spanned more than three decades. In 'Radical Utu : Critical Ideas and Ideals of Wangari Muta Maathai', Besi Brillian Muhonja presents the words and works of Maathai as theoretical concepts attesting to her contributions to gender equality, democratic spaces, economic equity and global governance, and indigenous African languages and knowledges. Muhonja's well-rounded portrait of Maathai's ideas offers a corrective to the one-dimensional characterization of Maathai typical of other works."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Maathai, Wangari. 610 20 $a Green Belt Movement (Society : Kenya) 600 17 $a Maathai, Wangari. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00202367 650 0 $a Women intellectuals $z Kenya. 650 0 $a Women conservationists $z Kenya. 650 0 $a Women political activists $z Kenya. 651 0 $a Kenya $x Intellectual life. 651 0 $a Kenya $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Decolonization $z Kenya. 650 0 $a Philosophy, African. 650 7 $a Decolonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00889115 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Philosophy, African. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060851 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Women conservationists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177526 650 7 $a Women intellectuals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178059 650 7 $a Women political activists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178374 651 7 $a Kenya. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208718 830 0 $a Research in international studies. $p Africa series ; $v no. 95. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020240.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=852C54488FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
