Finding her in history: confronting the traditions of misogyny

"Finding her in history: confronting the traditions of misogyny." Gender and Education, 31(8), pp. 1093–1094

Notes

1 I use the phrase ‘U.S. American’ here since people from the Americas (North, South, Central, and the Caribbean) view themselves as ‘Americans’ and have a right to that identity due to the history of colonialism and its brutal impact on the indigenous and other populations of slaves, coolies, and indentured people. Self-naming and self-identification reinforce agency and challenge narratives, especially those that place the ‘white’ nation, the United States of America, and ‘whiteness’ as the only Americans through global discursive practices while disregarding the bodies of non-white people as Americans. Therefore, the ‘United States’ is positioned as one kind of ‘American’ by many Americans.
