- Description
- The first part of the book examines representations of native women created by colonizing powers, assessing how these constructed images of gender and race were shaped by the ideological needs of the colonizers. The contributors look particularly at the ways in which colonizers constructed a national identity by creating a contrast with the colonial 'other,' in contexts ranging from Christian views of Islam women in medieval Spain to French beliefs about Native American women. Later contributions examine the ways in which images of gender as constructed by colonial powers impacted the lives of native women from colonial era India to Korea to Swaziland

- Description
- The contributors to this volume - including literary and filmtheorists, geographers, historians, sociologists, and anthropologists - show how the dominant colonial powers prefigured the ideologies of gender and sexuality that neocolonial nation-states have later refigured: investigate economic and artistic production: and explore labour, capital, and social change. The essays cover a range of locales, including Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Borneo, Indonesia, and the United States. In investigating issues of power, mobility, memory, and solidarity in recent eras of globalization, the contributors, illuminate various facets of the new concept of trans-status subjects.

- Description
- In 1817 Jan Cock Blomhoff travelled to Japan and brought with him his young wife Titia and his son. Never before did a Western woman set foot on Japanese soil and the Japanese were astonished. Author and distant relative of Titia René Bersma relates the exceptional and dramatic story of this woman who sails her own course, against all rules of precedent which governed Japanese society at that time, but in the end is forced to leave the country. Shortly after her arrival back in Holland she dies of exhaustion and sorrow. Titia's image has played an important role in the depiction of Western women in Japanese pictorial art.
