HIST 450 - SEM:African Women

Institution:

Xavier University

Subject:

Description:

This course seeks to place the role of women in African societies in an historical context exploring how their roles and lives have changed (and stayed the same) under the influence of their own societies and cultures, economic development, colonial rule, Islam, and Christianity. The primary goal is to seek to understand African women from their own perspective. Thus, we begin the course by exploring the differences between Western ideas of feminism and gender and African constructions of the same.
