Abstract

Abstract:The Bureau pour le développement des migrations dans les départements d’outre-mer (Office for the Development of Immigration in the Overseas Departments of France, or BUMIDOM), created by France in 1963, oversaw the immigration of some two hundred thousand people from the Overseas Departments, about a third of whom were women, to metropolitan France between 1963 and 1982. These immigrants were subjected to strictly controlled employment assignments. These women, mostly Black women succeeded, partially, in escaping them. Without comprising a Black feminist movement per se, these women demonstrated a desire for emancipation and a capacity for agency through different strategies. Although their social and economic situation did not put them in a dominant position, they were still not entirely defenseless against BUMIDOM, whose capacity to control the women was limited and which appeared to be a weak institution. Thus, these immigrants’ assorted paths are reminiscent of other forms of contemporary Black feminisms in which Antillean women have long distinguished themselves.

BUMIDOM移民及其对就业分配的抵制
摘要:法国于1963年成立了移民发展局(法国海外部移民发展办公室),负责监督1963年至1982年间约20万人从海外部移民到法国大都市,其中约三分之一是女性。这些移民接受严格控制的就业任务。这些女性,大多是黑人女性,部分成功地逃离了她们。在没有黑人女权主义运动本身的情况下,这些女性表现出了解放的愿望和通过不同策略发挥作用的能力。尽管她们的社会和经济状况并没有使她们处于主导地位,但她们仍然不是完全没有抵抗BUMIDOM的能力,BUMIDOM控制妇女的能力有限,而且似乎是一个薄弱的机构。因此,这些移民的各种道路让人想起了当代黑人女权主义者的其他形式,在这些形式中,安的列斯妇女长期以来一直脱颖而出。

期刊介绍: Journal of Women"s History is the first journal devoted exclusively to the international field of women"s history. It does not attempt to impose one feminist "line" but recognizes the multiple perspectives captured by the term "feminisms." Its guiding principle is a belief that the divide between "women"s history" and "gender history" can be, and is, bridged by work on women that is sensitive to the particular historical constructions of gender that shape and are shaped by women"s experience.
