| | The dominant theme in this book is the nature of academic feminism in southern Africa. The authors try to situate it in relation to mainstream Anglo-Saxon feminism, using converging typologies (radical, bourgeois, liberal, nationalist, marxist, post-structuralist and third-world feminism). The authors examine different disciplines (economics, sociology, history etc.) quoting the most important among contributions as the problemisation of the gender issue, which have highlighted the oppression or domination of women, or treated the issue of the sexual division of labour or the devalorisation of the image of women, or their occultation. |
