In this episode Elizabeth Jacob (Providence) joins editor Moses Ochonu (Vanderbilt) to discuss women's vital role in anticolonial struggles in Côte d'Ivoire and Francophone Africa, through acts both spectacular and mundane. Using the famous 1949 march of two thousand Ivorian women as an entry point, Jacob offers a groundbreaking application of the concept of public motherhood to contextualize the march in a stream of history, and interrogate the impacts and afterlives of women's activism and responses by male officials in the colonial bureaucracy and in the Parti Démocratique de Côte d'Ivoire (PDCI). The wide-ranging conversation also touches upon the work of exploring well known events and the joys of historical research.
Jacob's open access article Militant Mothers: Gender and the Politics of Anticolonial Action in Côte d'Ivoire features in the November 2022 issue of the JAH.
