Beskrivning

'A stunning exploration of how pleasure, ritual and inherited wisdom can transform the way we understand ourselves' Oloni'Eye-opening' Eloghosa Osunde'This book will help us reimagine what is possible' Charlene A. CurruthersA bold foray into self-discovery, sexual pleasure and African traditions from the acclaimed author of The Sex Lives of African Women.On her quest for sexual liberation, preeminent feminist Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah has heard the wildest dreams and spiciest realities of women around the world. But so often, something holds these women back from achieving full, unfettered freedom. Through sankofa, learning from the past to inform the future, Sekyiamah seeks to reclaim a more joyful and free sexual practice.Travelling from Senegal to Tanzania and beyond, Sekyiamah trains with gurus, witches and aunties-guides through puberty rites and marital training-and explores the spiritual, fluid nature of traditional African religions. Embracing these age-old practices and questioning how we've come to lose them, Sekyiamah challenges our warped ideals of beauty, shame, internalised racism and violence to lead us on our own personal journeys to rediscover sexual freedom through practical advice and prompts.Part-manifesto, part-travelogue, part-workbook, Seeking Sexual Freedom is the powerful and bold call to joy and liberation that women of all backgrounds need today.'Sekyiamah is officially our pleasure fairy godmother!' Ayesha Harruna Attah'Intimate and radical' Francesca Ekwuyasi'An important work of cultural anthropology' Chinelo Okparanta

Adventurous, curious, honest and at times totally mind-blowing. A book for anyone who cares about female pleasure. Which is to say, a book for everyone!
