Course Title:
Third World Women
Course Description:
Offers a critical examination of the complex gender dynamics shaping the lives of women in nonwestern societies from colonial times until the present. Deconstructs the term “Third World” and sees how it can be read against the context of imperialism. Examines gender constructs in relationship to racial and class hierarchies. Other topics include patterns of gender domination and female resistance, the interplay of imperialist and patriarchal forms of domination under colonial rule, the western gaze and representations of Third World “primitive” women, and the feminization of labor and the global economy.
