自由下的奴役生活——美国内战后南方的黑人妇女生活研究(1863—1920)

A Study of the Postbellum Black Women's life in American South (1863-1920)

美国南方黑人妇女在内战后开始的是一种自由下的奴役生活。在职业方面,她们中的大多数只能从事家庭服务工作,低等而且低薪;在社会地位上,她们受到性别和种族的双重歧视。随着20世纪初黑人社区的完善、职业结构的变化和黑人的自我觉醒,南方黑人妇女联合起来,为争取种族和性别的双重平等而斗争。

Although the black women were free in the Civil War, they had still not received the true freedom. In the aspect of the occupational situation, the majority of them had to do the low-wages household work; as for the social status, they were at the lowest of the southern social pyramid. With the development of the black community, the change of the occupational choices and the self-consciousness of the black people, the southern black women rose to fight for the double equality in gender and race.
