The Twin-Lineal African Family model of male-female equal empowerment: The secret basis for just African societies yesterday and today

Redefining the paradigm or model for African and African American families, we will explore the empirical record on the African family, studying closely family forms across continental Africa, and by implication across the African diaspora, challenging the description of the African Family as solely matriarchal or matrilineal; showing them to be “twin-lineal”, examining old cultural values with new methodology.

The Twin-lineal family model is the foundation model for creating just societies today and tomorrow, because the family is the foundation of society and just family systems provide the key model for just societies.
