Daughters of the Goddess, Daughters of Imperialism: Hardback: Zed Books Ltd: 9781856498050: 01 Jan 2000: A genealogy of class transformation in the 20th century. It contrasts the idea of a collectivist, humanist culture of traditional African matriarchal heritage with a corrupt, oppressive culture of imperialism that it argues is the heritage of contemporary, elite-led women's organizations. Using the idea of a collectivist, humanist culture of traditional African matriarchal heritage, Ifi Amadiume contrasts daughters of the Goddess to a corrupt and oppressive culture of imperialism that she argues is the heritage of contemporary elite-led women?s organizations. She examines the activities of such organizations in Nigeria, making comparisons with those in Britain and South Africa as well as international movements; looking at the 1995 Beijing International Women?s Conferences, she explores internationalism as an instrument of class reproduction. The author provides a detailed account of the structures and workings of local government in Nigeria and Britain as she raises theoretical and policy issues about civic groups, civil society and the nature of the late twentieth century state. Finally, Professor Amadiume draws lessons from her own experiences working in local government to suggest measures for true gender equity and the democratisation of politics in our increasingly multicultural and multiethnic societies. This book asks some hard questions of contemporary feminist movements and provides the most detailed account available of Nigerian women?s politics. Anthropology, , , , , , , , , , , ,<
