Edward Said analyzes the last phase of Orientalism after World War 2. He discusses how after the wars, the United States replaced European powers as the dominant force in the Middle East and global politics. This led to increased American interest and involvement in the region. However, Said argues that Orientalism continued to propagate misrepresentations of Arab and Eastern cultures as exotic, backward, and dangerous. He provides several examples of how Arabs were negatively depicted in American media, textbooks, and cultural relations policy during this period.

This document provides an overview of women's literature in post-Civil War America from 1870-1910. It discusses how women's voices emerged as new and important following the Civil War, expansion of the country, and growth of industry. However, women were still expected to take a passive role according to etiquette books of the time. Those who asserted themselves were seen as "hysterical." The movement for women's suffrage reemerged and women grew impatient for more voice in public life. Breakthrough women writers like Kate Chopin, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Edith Wharton fought against these expectations through their writing and activism, criticizing the stifling roles of women and society of the time.

Romantic Period & Women Reformers WritersRina Dewi
The document discusses the Romantic period in America and some prominent women writers and reformers from that era. It notes that the Romantic period featured dark themes like guilt and sin in works by authors like Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Edgar Allan Poe. It then outlines how in the 19th century, women like Lydia Child, Angelina and Sarah Grimke, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought for women's rights and abolition through networks, writing, and organizing the first women's rights convention. The document also discusses abolitionist works by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Jacobs, Frederick Douglass, and others who drew attention to the injustices of slavery through narratives and novels
The document discusses economic conditions in Imperial Russia between 1871-1914. It notes that while industry grew during this period, led by the textile and metallurgical industries supporting railway expansion, it did not grow enough to relieve pressure from agricultural overpopulation. Agriculture continued to struggle with low yields due to outdated practices, lack of credit, and the continuation of the commune system. Efforts at reform were sporadic and aimed more at relieving misery temporarily rather than enacting fundamental change, for fear of alienating the landed classes. The condition of the peasantry continued to be one of deepening poverty.
This document profiles the lives and accomplishments of Marie Curie, Florence Nightingale, and Eleanor Roosevelt. It discusses their exemplary leadership qualities and preconditions for leadership, including intelligence, tolerance for change, desire to lead, and strong communication skills. It also examines how they managed their energy through focus, restoration, and flow. Key leadership dimensions discussed are positive framing through self-awareness and learned optimism, and connecting through network design, sponsorship, reciprocity, and inclusiveness.
This document discusses the relationship between national liberation movements and decolonization. It argues that national liberation movements often represent temporary alliances between conflicting social forces. Colonial powers aimed to strengthen conservative elements and weaken radicals within these movements. As a result, independence often perpetuated existing social and economic relations rather than enabling true social transformation. The experiences of Kenya, Ireland, and South Africa are discussed to illustrate how colonial powers manipulated divisions within nationalist movements to ensure independence benefited existing elites. The importance of independent working class organization to push for deeper social change is emphasized.
Orientalism is a way of thinking that exaggerates differences between Arab cultures and Europe/US by imagining and distorting Arab peoples. According to Said, Orientalism originated during European colonialism as a way to rationalize intervention in Arab lands by constructing Arabs as inferior. It involves viewing Arab culture as exotic, backward, and in need of Western rescue or intervention. Said's seminal work Orientalism was part of a trilogy analyzing the West's relationship with and construction of the Orient.

Edward Said's 1978 book Orientalism critiqued the way Western scholarship portrayed the "Orient". [1] Said argued Orientalism constructed the Orient as the exotic Other to justify Western colonialism. [2] It was not just misrepresentations but a system of knowledge and power that maintained the distinction between the West and East for political purposes. [3] Said showed how cultural works like paintings and films helped produce and spread Orientalist views that still influence perceptions of the Middle East today.

Mary Wollstonecraft wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in response to works that argued women were inferior to men and should receive little education. She advocated for equal education for women and men, arguing this would allow women to be rational partners to their husbands rather than obedient servants. While she believed education could improve women's roles as wives and mothers, some critics argue she did not go far enough in advocating women's independence from domestic duties. Her work was a foundational text of feminist philosophy but remained controversial in her lifetime due to her unconventional personal life.

Woolf suffered from mental illness throughout her life and pioneered the use of stream-of-consciousness in her novels. She committed suicide in 1941 at the age of 59 by drowning herself.
Edward Said's book Orientalism argues that the Orient has been imagined and constructed by the West through a discourse called Orientalism. This discourse involves producing knowledge about the Orient through academic and artistic works that help dominate and exert authority over it. Said defines Orientalism as a Western style and corporate institution for dealing with the Orient by making statements, authorizing views, describing, teaching, settling, and ruling over it. This discourse helped European culture gain strength by defining itself against an imagined Orient. Orientalism continues to circulate and construct ideas about the East in various cultural forms today.

Nightingale received many honors for her pioneering work in nursing and was
The document provides an overview of the transformation of America between 1865-1914 through territorial expansion, industrialization, immigration, and urbanization. It discusses how the closing of the frontier, completion of the transcontinental railroad, Spanish-American War, and influx of immigrants shaped American society and culture during this period. Literature of this era reflected these changes through the emergence of realism and naturalism as dominant styles focused on accurate depictions of contemporary social issues and human behavior governed by external forces.
The Civil War disrupted traditional constructions of womanhood. For some white women, new opportunities emerged as plantation owners, but for many black women, sharecropping replaced slavery and stereotypes persisted for over 100 years. Native American, Mexican, and black women faced marginalization. Meanwhile, middle-class white women like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought for women's suffrage. Former slaves like Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman battled against slavery and for racial equality. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many women struggled for reforms relating to labor, temperance, racial uplift, and women's rights while navigating various hardships.
Franz Fanon's The Wretched of the EarthDaya Vaghani
The document provides an overview of Franz Fanon's seminal work "The Wretched of the Earth". It was published in 1961 and discusses decolonization from the perspective of the colonized.

Post colonialism in Black skin,White maskvyas charmi
This document provides an overview and analysis of post-colonialism in Frantz Fanon's book "Black Skin, White Masks" from 1952. It discusses how the book examines the psychology of racism and the strange effects of white rule on black people's minds. Some key points made include that colonized languages were seen as indicating intelligence, black women were attracted to white men to gain acceptance in the white world, and black men kept relationships with white women to be considered equals. The document also analyzes Fanon's views on how black people were not considered fully human by white society and felt inferiority within white systems.

It also examines how the narrative frame and focus on the male protagonists' histories upholds Victorian views of patriarchal power and civilization.
The Genesis of Pan-Africanism: A Historical PerspectiveAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Pan-Africanism is a movement to secure human rights, self-government, independence, and unity
for all African peoples. The spirit of solidarity and collaboration among African societies is ages old, fading and
flourishing from one century to the next. Pan-Africanism emerged once again at the end of the eighteenth century
as an anti-slavery and anti-colonial movement. Its appeal was both indigenous and international. Africans saw
their land invaded by European powers, a scenario that sparked resistance. The African struggle for freedom
coincided with anti-slavery sentiments in Europe and America, among other regions. In its original form, PanAfricanism had a wider scope than the geographic continent. It encompassed the African diaspora and descendants
worldwide. Seeking to unify the African people into a single community, Pan-Africanism grew and changed over
time, each century adding to its richness and passing on its legacy to the next. An ethnic, economic, political, and
social mosaic, Africa has struggled with an ambition for a united continent while at the same time being conscious
of the deep divisions within her borders. Along with the vision of oneness are the conflicting demands by Africa’s
sovereign states and regions, involving a mix of stakeholders—policymakers, national legislatures, and citizens
of independent countries. Still, for all its twists and turns, the movement embodies a vision of Africa liberated and
united, right up to the present day.

The Thiaroye Massacre occurred in 1944 in Thiaroye, Senegal when French forces massacred French West African troops known as Tirailleurs Sénégalais. The Tirailleurs Sénégalais were West African colonial troops who fought for France in World War I and World War II.

African literature has a strong oral tradition and incorporates important truths and teachings. It uses artistic language to build communities rather than just for beauty. Major themes include pre-colonial oral myths, slave narratives from the colonial period, and post-independence works addressing themes of liberation, tradition vs modernity, and social issues. Famous African authors represented include Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Olaudah Equiano, and his memoir describing the harrowing conditions aboard a slave ship.
Nationalist movements in Africa were inspired by ideals of self-determination and independence. They were led by figures like Nkrumah of Ghana, Kenyatta of Kenya, and Lumumba of the Congo who adopted philosophies like pan-Africanism and negritude. These leaders and their organizations worked to end colonial rule and promote African unity, though they also faced opposition from colonial powers and influence from the Cold War.

The document outlines the timeline of European involvement in Africa from the 1884-1885 Berlin Conference where European powers divided up Africa, to the role of explorers, traders, and Christian missionaries in the 19th century who paved the way for imperialism. It then discusses the period of formal European colonial rule from 1870-1898 where they established political and economic control over African territories and implemented systems of administration. The document also notes both perceived benefits and negative impacts of the European colonial system in Africa.
The document provides an overview of Japan's occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945 and its significant economic, political, social, and cultural impacts. Economically, Japan dominated Korean industries and forced many Koreans to work in mines and factories, especially during World War II. Politically, all authority was held by the Japanese governor general and Koreans' basic rights were suppressed. Socially, Koreans were forced to take Japanese names and customs and thousands of women were made sexual slaves for Japanese troops. Culturally, Japanese rule aimed to eliminate Korean culture by imposing restrictions and promoting Japanese language and traditions instead. The occupation spurred Korean nationalism and independence movements.

This cluster vividly brings mid-1980s
South Africa to life. With extensive
interviews that preserve the diverse
voices and perspectives of sixty women
activists of the anti-apartheid
movement, photographs and
contemporary publications, this rich
collection conveys a bitter but bracing
taste of the determination and power
with which South African women
collectively confronted racial
supremacy and gender inequality.
5. The Japanese Empire, 1842-2001
The Woman’s Suffrage League in Japan began
publishing a bimonthly journal, Japanese
Women, in 1938. The president of the league,
Ichikawa Fusae (also, Fusaye), served as the
journal’s editor-in-chief. During the late
1930s, as Japan’s imperial expansionism in
Asia eroded international trust, friendship
and cooperation, the league envisioned the
journal as a way to stay in touch with
feminists around the world. In the
introductory essay of the first issue, Ichikawa
expressed that goal, identifying fellow
feminists as “co-workers” in the present
“chaotic days” and “reactionary period.” Most
issues contained a News in Brief column and
described recent events as they affected
women. These features show that a
remarkable number of Japanese women
continued to attend meetings abroad and
foreign women leaders traveled to meetings in
Japan despite international tensions.

point in Hamheung, Korea, dressed in nice clothes
and with family in tow to see her off. Her train
took her to Manchuria where, instead of doing
factory work, she was forced to have sex with
Japanese soldiers until Japan's surrender, four
years later. She shared her story in 1994 and her
desire not for monetary compensation but a show
of "true repentance" from Japan.

Gnomi Feministou
[An Opinion of a Male
Feminist].
This collection of documents presents a unique window into
women collaborating with and contesting the Ottoman Empire
in the Eastern Mediterranean from 1860 to 1960. A series of
imperial transitions from the 1880s to the early 1950s brought
national independence. During these transitions, elite women
often delivered services that colonial governments failed to
provide, such as basic healthcare and primary education for
girls. Documents in this collection include the voices of
indigenous women’s rights activists—Turks, Syrians,
Palestinians, Egyptians—discussing campaigns for national
independence and women’s rights in the pages of women’s
journals, pamphlets and conference proceedings. Of special
interest are the Arabic original and the first English translation
of the proceedings of Egyptian Women’s Union 1838 Cairo
conference. Documents in this collection are drawn from
archives in the United States as well as personal and state
archives in Turkey, Egypt, and Lebanon.
8. The Russian Empire, 1920-1929

This document cluster offers texts and translations from
the early 20th century Tatar women's movement in
Russia, and from Uzbek women writing between 1906
and the 1930s. Central Eurasian women were subjects of
the Russian Empire until the 1917 revolutions, and then
became Soviet citizens whose conditions were shaped by
the Communist Party of the USSR. Writers of the earlier
documents were associated with the "Muslim Women's
Association" in Russia. Of special interest are
translations from the Uzbek women's journal Yangi Yo'l
(New Path). From 1925 through 1929 its authors
discussed modern-style schools for Uzbek girls,
replacing Islamic family law with Soviet ideas of equality,
and Uzbek women unveiling and interacting with men in
society and work. Marianne Kamp is the translator and
editor of those documents. Translator Claire Roosien
provides Uzbek poetry from the early 1930s.

South Africa
The South African War between
British settlers and descendants of
Dutch settlers known as Boers (and
later as Afrikaners) was a defining
moment in South African history.
The war was part of the scramble for
Africa, in which European powers
seized most of Africa for exploitation.
However, in this case the combatants
on both sides were white, Christian
and European. Diaries by women
show the great extent to which this
was a women’s war. British women
served as nurses and teachers in the
British concentration camps
established to contain Boer civilians.
About 10 percent of the Boer
population died in the camps.
This seminar was
held in Jakarta

Tunisia
Assia Djebar, one of the most distinguished woman writers to
emerge from the Arab world, wrote Children of the New World
following her own involvement in the Algerian resistance to
colonial French rule. Djebar's novel sheds light on current
regional conflicts by revealing, from the inside out, a
determined Arab insurgency against foreign occupation.
Memoire de Femmes compiles oral histories of Tunisian
women. Interviews were supported by the French and Tunisian
scholarly institutions. The book is printed in both French and
Arabic with different oral histories in each section. The original
interviews were conducted in dialectal Tunisian Arabic and
translated into modern standard Arabic for publication.
