O knihe
In "Our New Husbands Are Here "Emily Lynn Osborn makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the role of gender in precolonial and colonial Africa. Well written and meticulously researched, this important book shows that women assumed a critical if understudied role in the precolonial state of Bate, in present-day Guinea. Osborn also reveals that the gender biases implicit in the French colonial project radically diminished women's political roles and created new opportunities and burdens for colonized men. By investigating the relationship between household-making and state- making, "Our New Husbands Are Here "generates a nuanced perspective on power in precolonial and colonial Africa and shows that previous studies have overlooked the shifting role of women and the domestic sphere in West African political history.
