“…Studied through an array of social sciences, hospitality and hospitableness present fascinating subjects in their own right (Fourshey 2012), but they also serve as critical tools through which to inform the study of commercial hospitality and hospitality management. Most significantly, duties and obligations to offer strangers shelter have been key elements of most religions.…”

“…They are linguistically closely related to their neighbors. They have distinct cultural element, just as the other dozen ethnic groups of the region do, and yet they have long interacted with and have had well-developed political and social relationships with their regional neighbors (Fourshey, 2012). The works of Kootz-Kretchmer and Wilson continue to shape how later scholars approached the region.…”

After two decades of research in East and East Central Africa on early precolonial history, the authors of this article began a collaborative project focused on gender and identity with an aim of addressing and rectifying categories that commonly appear in anthropological and historical studies. Our position is that present day gender and identity categories applied to the deep past are problematic because they too often miss the nuances of gender, identity, and power dynamics in Africa. This has resulted in a common perception that African women have been perpetual victims and that identity is universal and static. We acknowledge that the corpus of nineteenth and twentieth century anthropological and historical works are a rich resource for researchers if critically reexamined in light of more recent research on gender and Downloaded from identity. We posit new approaches that might inspire a conversation to create more culturally germane categories for particular African contexts. Anthropology and history have greatly influenced public understandings of women and ethnicity in Africa. Thus it is well worth a more vigorous reexamination of how we can construct more accurate historical representations both of African women's statuses in societies and identities as represented in ethnicity, traditions, or other relevant expressions.
