Daughters of the goddess, daughters of imperialism : African women struggle for culture, power, and democracy
"This seminal work charts a genealogy of class transformation in the 20th century. In its critique of developmentalism it proposes a genuine commitment to equity and gender democratization. Using the metaphor of a collectivist, humanist culture of traditional African matriarchal heritage, Professor Amadiume contrasts daughters of the Goddess with a corrupt and oppressive culture of imperialism that, she argues, is the heritage of contemporary elite-led women's organizations."--Jacket
