The Closing Door: African Women and European Morality, 1916-1930 This is the first scholarly study of African marriage relationships in Southern Rhodesia during the early twentieth century. It is a highly original and cogently argued history of sexuality and gender relations in colonial Africa. Diana Jeater examines the impact of colonial occupation at its deepest level - the way in which men and women conceptualize themselves and their gender. She explores the extraordinary experience of people who, for the first time in their history, were living in towns, and traces the struggles which led to new ideas about appropriate behaviour between men and women. Dr Jeater examines the marriage relationship and the regulation of sexuality, showing how the urban environment produced social relations which were not based on kinship networks and how wage labour and the cash economy offered unprecedented opportunities for the young to break free from lineage control. The book demonstrates how European concepts of gender relations were selectively absorbed by various interest groups within the African communities in order to maximize the benefits and reduce the costs of interaction with the white occupation Marriage Zimbabwe History (RERO)B027633653 Sex customs Zimbabwe History (RERO)B027633654 Sex role Zimbabwe History (RERO)B027633655 1894-1930 (RERO)B026987685 rero Mariage (RERO)A021002119 rero Shona (peuple d'Afrique) (RERO)A021004375 rero Sexualité (RERO)A021002737 rero Zimbabwe Moral conditions History (RERO)B027633656 Zimbabwe (IDREF)027256367 idref Publisher description http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0603/92026360-d.html BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 RERO RE01030 RE01030 RE010300002 SHCONT BCB-20 RERO 100 1- Jeater Diana 1959- (IDREF)032153988 cre RERO 490 0- Oxford studies in African affairs RERO 856 42 Publisher description http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0603/92026360-d.html SWISSBIB 136901611
