- 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
- The goal of the Bank's Women in Development (WID) Policy is to improve the socio-economic situation of women in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to improve the performance of Bank projects by enhancing women's contributions. To achieve these goals, the 1991 WID Action Plan developed an integrative strategy, whereby gender issues would be incorporated into all Bank operations to promote the equal participation of women in project activities, and to ensure that women, as well as men, benefit from these projects. This study contains background information on women in the Latin American and Caribbean workforce, issues, lessons learned and recommendations regarding women's participation in training programs and finally addressing gender issues throughout the project cycle.
