People’s reproductive choices, sexual practices and
domestic affairs very often become questions of life and
death, suffering or fulfillment. With the increasing complexities
of the social dynamics that shape the lives of women and
men in Africa, there is a need to refine the procedures and
instruments of investigation into the fields of sexuality, gender
and reproduction. This book engages the methodological
challenges that researchers face when they address highly
intimate, taboo-ridden and controversial issues. These
issues are always subject to negotiation and contestation,
secrecy and revelation. The collection of articles in the book
discusses such challenges and suggests how to overcome
them in order to develop methods that aptly address intimate
and sensitive matters without neglecting informants’ need for
privacy and rights to confidentiality.
