This paper explores the lived leadership experiences of women leaders at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) and the State University of Zanzibar (SUZA). The study employed the phenomenology research design, and involved a total of 31 participants. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews and documentary review. The study findings revealed that, to become a leader, there are obstacles such as loopholes in university policies, guidelines and leadership, university charters, as well as stated leadership attributes. It was also revealed that leadership capacity-building, self-efficacy and self-esteem and accountability were the strategies used by women to remain in university leadership positions. This paper concludes that women leaders pass through a labyrinth to become and remain leaders. The study recommends that university managements should facilitate the provision of leadership capacity-building, supported by favourable policy environments to enhance the nurturing of women leaders.

Este artigo apresenta uma leitura crítica do conteúdo de dois filmes que abordam o preconceito racial. Foram selecionados os filmes: Um grito de liberdade e Sarafina o som da liberdade, como fonte de pesquisa. O objetivo é investigar os aspectos culturais, econômicos, sociais e políticos da África, a fim de propor uma metodologia de análise fílmica, com base nos Estudos Culturais. De que maneira o cinema, ao mostrar os conflitos sociais gerados pelas leis raciais, pode contribuir para formar professores mais preparados e capazes de lidar com o racismo e o preconceito na sala de aula? No espaço escolar, esses filmes analisados na perspectiva de Douglas Kellner, Michel Foucault e Stuart Hall, podem ampliar a nossa compreensão sobre a lógica da dominação pela segregação racial e contribuir para mobilizar ações de valorização e de reconhecimento da história e cultura africana e afro-brasileiro.

The fulcrum of Paul Eiss' provocative volume-—and the concept that facilitates his interwoven understanding of community, popular politics, state formation, indigenous identity and memory-—is his interrogation of the term "el pueblo." Previously scholars across a range of disciplines have privileged one or another of its connotations, emphasizing either a particular village or place; or focusing more abstractly on the notion of local or broader community; or equating the term with popular politics (as in, most famously, the slogan "el pueblo unido jamás será vencido!").

A comprehensive history of the struggle to define womanhood in America, from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century "Exhaustively researched and finely written."-Alexandra Jacobs, New York Times "An intelligently provocative, vital reading experience. . . . This highly readable, inclusive, and deeply researched book will appeal to scholars of women and gender studies as well as anyone seeking to understand the historical patterns that misogyny has etched across every era of American culture."-Kirkus Reviews, starred review What does it mean to be a "woman" in America? Award-winning gender and sexuality scholar Lillian Faderman traces the evolution of the meaning from Puritan ideas of God's plan for women to the sexual revolution of the 1960s and its reversals to the impact of such recent events as #metoo, the appointment of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, the election of Kamala Harris as vice president, and the transgender movement. This wide-ranging 400-year history chronicles conflicts, retreats, defeats, and hard-won victories in both the private and the public sectors and shines a light on the often-overlooked battles of enslaved women and women leaders in tribal nations. Noting that every attempt to cement a particular definition of "woman" has been met with resistance, Faderman also shows that successful challenges to the status quo are often short-lived. As she underlines, the idea of womanhood in America continues to be contested
