内容説明

Charting British feminist history over the past 20 years, this book examines its objects of study, its theoretical debates and its definitions of the politics of history. Reflecting on the particularities of British feminism and the ways in which this has shaped the concerns of feminist history, Hall explores the construction of gendered identities within the English middle-class from the 19th century. From the early enthusiasm of the 1970s for the hidden histories and lost experiences of women, feminist history has become increasingly concerned with men as well as women, with a rewriting of history from a woman's perspective and a gendered perspective. In the 1980s, race became a vital issue for feminism and the last section of the book explores the connections between gendered and racial identities - the different ways in which 19th-century men attempted to exercise power over all their dependants, whether black or female.

内容説明

What are the relations between feminism and history, feminist politics and historical practice? What are the connections between gender and class? What part have racial identities and ethnic difference played in the construction of Englishness? Through a series of provocative and richly detailed essays, Catherine Hall explores these questions. She argues that feminism has opened up vital new questions for history and transformed familiar historical narratives. Class can no longer be understood outside of gender, or gender outside of class. But English identities have also been rooted in imperial power. White, Male and Middle Class explores the ways in which middle-class masculinities were rooted in conceptions of power over dependants - whether black or female.
