Ce volume reflète l'extraordinaire essor pris ces dernières années par l'histoire des femmes en situation coloniale. Onze contributions, concernant des territoires coloniaux divers, portant sur les XIXe et XXe siècles, abordent, à travers des aspects historiques, littéraires, sociologiques ou politiques, des questions fondamentales pour cerner « le sexe » de la colonisation et de la décolonisation. Elles nous montrent combien, dans les deux processus, les rapports de genre, de classe et de race s'imbriquent dans les discours et dans les faits. La richesse des approches et des problématiques démontre, s'il le fallait, la pertinence de l'outil « genre » dans l'analyse des impérialismes.

This book examines 'eternal colonialism,' which describes policies designed by the Western world and United States to keep most of the world in a permanently subordinate political, economic, social, and military state. The authors argue that colonialism beginning in the fifteenth century never ended, but developed different forms over time

An analysis of the position of social science in the Southwest, as compared with the US as a whole, shows that in this region it is less well developed. This fact is reflected in disproportionate representation in offices of national professional societies, membership on boards of research organization, in limited research grants received, and other indices of isolation. For example, the 7 states of the Southwest do not h.:ve any representatives on the board of directors of the Soc. Sci. Res. Council. This regional discrimination reflects not only geographic isolation but various social factors. Social scientists in the Southwest are the 'poor relations' of the national academic family. The solution is not a 'declaration of independence' but attempts to utilize resources of the region more Way, to interest local persons of wealth in the sponsorship of research and other academic activities, development of the existing regional society, and expansion of the Southw. Soc. Sc. Quart. as a publication medium. If no one else shows much interest, self-help is necessary. E. Scott.
