Who Owns Third World Women s Knowledge- An Experience


Who Owns Third World Women's Knowledge?
An Experience Everlyn Nicodemus THIS account of how 800 African women were cheated and the authors' rights of African women writers violated is a long, complex and ugly story. But also very simple. Beneath all of it there is the colonial and racistic attitude of self-righteousness, disregard and arbitrariness. The Third World belongs to those who have the economic power. They have Africa at their disposal. Naturally they also have the knowledge and the creations of the Third World women at their disposal.
