HS 389 - Women and Social Change in Modern Africa

(3.00 cr.)

Prerequisite: One HS 100-level course. Analyzes the impact of social, economic, and political change on women in modern Africa. In particular, it explores the differential impact of colonization, wage labor, and cash crop production on women and men, which resulted in new forms of exploitation as well as opportunity. Women's innovative response to opportunity, their resistance to negative social change, and their role in nationalist movements and postindependence societies are also considered. Readings include life histories and women's novels as well as academic studies. GT/IAF/IG/IPJ
