==== Volume 2, Solving the Problems of Poverty ==== Kwazu's book on African poverty was the second monograph in the series. His bibliography lists "Hillman, K., Wörterbuch der Soziologie, Kröner, Stuttgart, Bd. 410, 1994" on p. 252, but Hillmann should be spelled with two n's and the dictionary does not contain 410 volumes, as Kwazu's entry suggests, but is volume 410 in the series called "Kröners Taschenausgabe". The 1994 printing is, furthermore, the fourth, revised edition. The bibliography cites E. Leuninger's "Take (sic) to Catholic Workers' Movement, (KAB) Diocese of Limburg, Germany, 1 April 2001" (p. 255). The talk (not "take") was certainly held in German, and Kwazu's bibliography lists several German titles, but here, Kwazu gives no specific title, making the reference inaccessible.
==== Volume 13, Women's Emancipation in Africa ==== Mutume's monograph on women's rights (volume 13 in the series) cites the Vatican's 1976 "Declaration on the Question of Admission of Women to the Ministerial Priesthood" and lists it twice in the bibliography, once under A for Austin Flannery, and once under F. Both are incorrect, since it was signed by Franjo Cardinal Seper, then Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith. The Dominican priest Austin Flannery was the translator; listing him as its author is confusing. The bibliography also mistakenly cites Tamale's 2003 article "Out of the Closet" as having been published in 2005. Furthermore, Mutume identifies no page numbers for the Tamale publication. Since it has been republished several time, giving page numbers would be one way of helping readers confirm they have the right version at hand. Mutume cites from Together, a journal published by World Vision International, which has often been criticized for unethical fundraising techniques and corruption. The bibliography lists the article under the authors's first name (Graeme), thus suggesting that Mutume was unable to distinguish it from the last (Irvine). In any case, magazines distributed by World Vision to their donors are unusual sources for doctoral dissertations. Blind references to publications unseen by Mutume appear regularly in confusing dead ends. One bibliographical entry cites "Schrijvers, quoted in Stromquist", but gives no title or page numbers for the Schrijvers publication (p. 219). The same page in the bibliography lists two entries under T because they begin with "The". This page of the bibliography ends with the following puzzling entry: "Women; Definitions. UNICEF. Retrieved on 20th February 2012". Without citing the URL or the bibliographical container, this entry is useless.
