| Résumé anglais |
Starting in 1979, the military government that took power in
the 1974 Ethiopian revolution launched a national literacy campaign to build
the socialist nation. Tens of thousands of young city-dwellers were sent to the
countryside to educate the peasant population. The experience of these young
instructors offers a privileged vantage point for observing the social dynamics of
the revolution through gender and class relations. Studying official and activist
documents as well as interviews conducted among former instructors allows to
understand how the latter took responsibility for their role and interacted with
peasants, and enables to identify the possibilities opened up by the revolution and
the uses women have made of them. This approach requires, first, to consider the
academic and political socialization of educated urban women under the preceding
regime as well as the revolutionary discourse regarding the “woman question”.
It contributes to ongoing research on how women used the policies of otherwise
authoritarian socialist regimes to win greater autonomy and recognition. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
