Colonial Metropolis

The Urban Grounds of Anti-Imperialism and Feminism in Interwar Paris

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Tells the story of the interactions and connections of black colonial migrants and white feminists in the social, cultural, and political world of interwar Paris. It explores why and how both were denied certain rights, such as the vote, how they suffered from sensationalist depictions in popular culture, and how they pursued parity in ways that were often interpreted as politically subversive.
