- 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
- According to nineteenth-century racial uplift ideology, African American women served their race best as reformers and activists, or as 'doers of the word.' In Belabored Professions, Xiomara Santamarina examines the autobiographies of four women who diverged from that ideal and defended the legitimacy of their self-supporting wage labor. .Santamarina focuses on The Narrative of Sojourner Truth, Eliza Potter's A Hairdresser's Experience in High Life, Harriet Wilson's Our Nig, and Elizabeth Keckley's Behind the Scenes. She argues that beyond black reformers' calls for abolitionist work, these former slaves and freeborn black women wrote about their own overlooked or disparaged work as socially and culturally valuable to the nation. They promoted the status of wage labor as a mark of self-reliance and civic virtue when many viewed African American working women as 'drudges.'

- Description
- The author untangles the inequalities in America in a historic perspective, from the end of the Reconstruction to the eve of World War II. During this era the country experienced enormous social and economic changes with slavery, territorial expansion, and massive immigration, and struggled over the meaning of free labour and the essence of citizenship. Discussed are the concepts of the free worker and the independent citizen at the national level and how race and gender issues framed the struggle over labour and citizenship rights.

- Description
- De title of this special refers to an international colloquium organised april 21 2007 at the University of Lausanne. Élise Lemercie demonstrates in her survey that some women create collective positions in the area of intercultural mediation to negotiate autonomy outside the couple and family life. Based on ethnographic research, Caroline Ibos examines in her article the cross-cutting relations between class-based, sexual and racial social categorizations between African nannies and their employers. Articles in magazines deliver an embellished representation of women's obligation to combine family and working life. According to these new 'images d'Épinal' women should be able to respond to a triple challenge: to initiate mutual comprehension within their romantic couple, to increase the social capital of their children, and to reform the working world. Céline Bessière shows that the model of emancipation of younger women through paid work outside the family business is not unambiguous, and that emancipation depends more generally on the social position of the protagonists. Elsa Galerand and Danièle Kergoat take as hypothesis the idea that it is the relation to work, and not work itself, that holds subversive, not to say liberating, potential for women. They insist on the necessity for the feminist movement to put domestic work back at the center of its reflection on work and on the emancipation of women. Working in precarious and isolated situations, undocumented domestic workers in Switzerland manage to endure their tasks, and to commit themselves, arriving at certain forms of fulfillment. Laetitia Dechaufour aims at introducing postcolonial feminism through its main debates and authors. The principal objective of postcolonial feminism is to rethink the oppression of women through the lens of colonization and slavery.
