Rethinking gender as a Western construction : the postcolonial mapping of the distinctively European approaches to feminism that has been developing in recent decades the "woman question,” mostly as a Western one and not a proper lens for viewing African society.
Where is the African women identity leading to? How is it going to be their relation with men? Would they be able to recover their ancestral social hierarchy or will there be a new super retro-futuristic way to interact between both genders? How will the colonizing tactics will be? Maybe "we" could be the ones geographically( mentally and socially we already are) colonize in a near future, or even colonies could disappear as a tactic of power ....
We need to look at imperialism, colonization and other global and local forms of stratification, which lead to the conclusion that gender cannot be separated from the social context and other systems of hierarchy. Thus, the three central concepts that have been the pillars of feminism, women, gender and sisterhood, are only understood with a careful attention to the nuclear family from which they have emerged. Feminist concepts arise from the logic of the patriarchal nuclear family , which is a familiar form that is far from universal
Can we assume that social relations in all societies are organized around biological sexual difference? Is the male body in African societies seen as normative and therefore a channel for the exercise of power?
One consequence of Eurocentrism is the racialization of knowledge: Europe is represented as the source of knowledge and Europeans, therefore, as thinkers. In addition, male privilege as an essential part of the European ethos is implicit in the culture of modernity. What if modernity models brings us to a new vision of "the other"?. Gender is, above all, a sociocultural construction. Maybe understanding History we will be able to overcome the social and symbolic ascription only by the difference of sex and open the range to other factors for the construction of identity.
Rethink new ways of relating genders, new models of intercultural dialogues not based on supremacy or an exclusionary hierarchy. Identities, both individual and in community, in which we do not have to make ourselves invisible to advance. Learning from the past to direct us to a balanced future. Utopia or feasible reality? Juggling games. The women of the future ... will achieve their goals of equality and equity through Western models of struggle or will new speeches be heard?
