| Izvleček: | Until a relatively
recent period, colonial history had focused on the study of the colonized, and, if some
attention was dedicated to the colonizers, only the role men played in the process was
deemed fit to require attention, thus arbitrarily assigning to the women of colonization
contradictory features. More recent researches in women anthropology and sociology set
out to analyze the image and agency of the white woman in the colonies. According to the
ideological needs of the moment, as well as the different challenges opposed to the
colonial rule, supposed needs, wills, political and ideological features were ascribed to
these women, including racism. A closer scrutiny tends to show that one could draw a
parallel between the different ways racial problems were dealt with, and the definition of
the role of women in the colonization, varying according to the different demands of the
imperial project. This could be explained by the ambiguous status of women in this period
of history : they were both subordinates in colonial hierarchies and agents of empire in
their own right. |
