#I would need to check for a more detailed breakdown of the post independence because most of what I read was through Catarina Isabel Caldera#Martins and a lot of the literature is in portugese only#I THINK I've read Desiree Lewis coment a bit on it but I read Desiree along with a collection of authors under Oyèronké's name#and I have embarassingly traded information of what I read on what#but as often with revolutionary movement everywhere#a lot of talk about how the liberation of women and of the land are deeply connected BEFORE taking power. not a lot of action after#but I gotta disclaimer women are hardly the only category that felt betrayed after the first mandate#and pulling back to the field I have actual solid knowledge of that is literature if you haven't read Pauline Chiziane she's a delight#this post probably looks so random context is I mentioned conversations I had with mozamvican women who fought for independence about this#tendency of colonised men to only oppose patriarchy when the pater familias is the colonizer but be quite happy to occupy the same position#himself in betrayal of colonised women of their own lands in a post about this as a larger phenomena#but it's true everywhere every year our left here claims abortion is too divisive and it's 'not the time yet' to demand it#thank you Worker's Party for all this nothing#.txt
