Gendre and language in African contexts: references wanted

[Anita Taylor]

You probably have the following, although I send it just in case:

Oyeronke Oyewumi, _The Invention of Women:  Making an African Sense of Western Gender Discourses_.  Minneapolis:  Univ. of Minnesota Press, 1997.

While the book deals with much more than language, it includes language and makes very important points about context, especially focusing on colonial impact.
