- Description
- Offering detailed analyses of slave emancipation in specific societies, the contributors discuss all of the diverse actors in emancipation : slaves, abolitionists, free people of colour, state officials, and slave owners. Whether considering the construction of a postslavery masculine subjectivity in Jamaica, the work of two white U.S. abolitionist women with the Freedmen's Bureau after the Civil War, freedwomen's negotiations of labour rights in Puerto Rico, slave women's contributions to the slow unraveling of slavery in French West Africa, or the ways Brazilian abolitionists deployed representations of femininity as virtuous and moral, these essays demonstrate the gains that a gendered apporach offers to understanding the complex processes of emancipation. Some chapters also explore theories and methodologies that enable a gendered reading of postslavery archives. the editors' substantial introduction traces the reasons for and patterns of women's and men's different experiences of emancipation throughout the Atlantic world.

- Description
- Deze bundel rond de identiteit van zwarte vrouwen kwam tot stand naar aanleiding van het 5e Internationale Interdisciplinaire Congres over Vrouwen (1993) in Costa Rica, waar zwarte vrouwen uit diverse landen bijeen kwamen. De essays geven een los van nationaliteit, wereldwijde, multidisciplinaire kritiek op racisme en discrimnatiepraktijken vanuit perspectief van zwarte vrouwen en de inspanningen die nodig zijn om racisme wereldwijd te stoppen. De volgende bijdragen zijn opgenomen: Defining black feminism / door Sueli Carneiro: Black women and identity in the Caribbean: out of the Quagmire / door Eintou Pearl Springer: From fractured identities, a new consciousness / door Glenda Simms: Apartheid and identity: black women in South Africa / door Danisa E. Baloyi: Power, racism and identiy / door Sergia Galvan: Women in the Caribbean: the quadruple burden of gender, race, class and imperialism / door Peggy Antrobus: Gender-responsive agenda for equitable development / door Felicia Ekejiuba: The impact of the black consciousness and women's movements on black women's identiy: intercontinental empowerment / door Andrée Nicola McLaughlin.
