Africana Womanism Verses Western Feminism / Global Tribes and Diaspora Disciplines

Africana Womanism Verses Western Feminism / Global Tribes and Diaspora Disciplines - In the first hour we use the research of Dr's. Clenora Hudson-Weems and Nigerian Ifi Amadeume to distinguish Eurocentric feminism and it "black feminism" counterpart from the traditional ways that African women have always known power within their own indigenous societies. Until the time of invasion and conquer first from Arabs and later Europeans, women in Africa had household, community and national power. Next, Joel Kotkin's book provides us the source material to demonstrate that keeping true to ethnic values and solidarity is one of the centuries long proven means of keeping a people united, disciplined and committed to common development and intergenerational wealth. The role of technology is also emphasized as it combines with ethnicity to create powerful and lasting global empires. (LIBMP3-3498)
