In conversation with Prof. Zine Magubane on the history and sociology of women's struggles in South Africa, from the colonial period to the present.
The conversation examines the significance of the 1956 Women's March, the relationship between race, class and gender, and the different experiences of Black and white women under colonialism and apartheid. Prof. Magubane discusses how the apartheid system disrupted the Black family, transformed labour and household life, and shaped the conditions under which African women organised and struggled.
