Title
Minority Women of North America : A Comparison of French-Canadian and Afro-American women
Description
A comparison of the historical situations and social positions of French Canadian and African American women. An examination of their family and community roles, cultural stereotypes, and social and politicals achievement levels. Situates the origins of each population on the North American continent - one in servitude in seventeenth-century New France, the other in forced immigration and slavery in the United States of the same time. Focuses on the phenomenon of a "double-oppression" - or the sum of one's ethnic minority and gender statuses - and what is required for the doubly oppressed to be "liberated." Acknowledgement of gendered differences in the separate gains made by each minority group. Republished in Le FAROG Forum (April 1988), University of Maine.
