Féminisme caribéen francophone

An introduction to feminisms in the Francophone Caribbean, this course traces the recent history of feminist movements in Haiti, La Martinique, and Guadeloupe in light of a strong tradition of militant anticolonial and anti-imperial activism. With a double focus on theory and practice, we will engage in a broad range of inquiries: course materials include essays, graphic novels, short stories, poems, documentaries, editorials by journalists, and the work of feminist scholars across the disciplines. Taught in French.
