Chain Her by One Foot : The Subjugation of Native Women in Seventeenth-Century New France PDF
by Karen Anderson
- Information
Description
In this highly original volume of social history, Karen Anderson makes a provocative claim: the subjugation of women in seventeenth-century New France was linked with the brutal colonization of native Indian populations.
Before colonization, the Huron and Montagnais tribes lived in gender-egalitarian societies.
The domination of women by men was only one effect of French "civilization"--along with warfare, disease, famine and Jesuit proselytization--which combined to destroy Indian culture and sexual equality. Anderson's is an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, feminist case study of the historical and political construction of gender and racial inequality.
