Mobilizing Zanzibari Women

The Struggle for Respectability and Self-Reliance in Colonial East Africa

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The experiences of African women in the era before independence remain a woefully understudied facet of African history. This innovative and carefully argued study thus adds tremendously to our understanding of colonial history by focusing on women's education, professionalization, and political mobilization in the East African islands of Zanzibar.
