Kate Law

Gendering the Settler State

White Women, Race, Liberalism and Empire in Rhodesia, 1950-1980

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that white women often held ambiguous, inconsistent and complicated attitudes towards issues such as race, liberalism, gender and empire, marking a significant departure from the current scholarship on women and empire, which has tended to situate them in ossified roles. In doing so, Gendering the Settler State argues for the importance of a more nuanced and fine-grained analysis of the role of white women in the colonial enterprise.
