As colonial territories were increasingly gaining autonomy and self-representation, women's activists and their organizations worked to improve the status of women both within and outside the household. As independence approached, the independence party US-RDA was progressively morphing into a monolithic and autocratic machinery, intolerant vis-à-vis independent organizations (including women's groups). The US-RDA party leadership resorted to a series of tactics and strategies that divided women's groups and belittled their leadership, ultimately managing to dismantle their organizations and quell any resistance to US-RDA's dominance. This article chronicles women's effort to resist and influence US-RDA's gender politics, and some of the reasons behind the demise of those groups. It also reflects on some Malian women's more recent critical engagement with their activist past in an effort to develop a more gender-inclusive narrative of the nation. More broadly, this article elucidates some of the social divisions and political practices that continue to affect the work of Malian women's organizations even today.

First, it briefly describes some of the ways in which French colonization was represented during the period of the one-party state (1960–1991), using them as a benchmark against which to gauge changes in those representations by the democratic and neoliberal state that followed. Second, it examines the state memorialization of French colonization since 1991, focusing on the Koulouba monument complex in Bamako, the largest series of monuments dedicated to Mali's colonial history. It details the emergence of a new narrative of colonization that suggests contacts, hybridity, and cross-feeding—a representation reflecting some of the experiences and narratives of Mali's cosmopolitan political and cultural elites. Third, it analyze Ségouvian citizens' perspectives on the government's memorialization project in light of their experience with state encroachment...

The first section provides a historical background against which to locate the democratic government's work in the field of cultural heritage and public culture. The second section presents an overview of some of the heritage work carried out under Alpha Oumar Konaré's administration (1992–2002). It documents state efforts to build a democratic culture as well as to cultivate rational–critical perspectives vis-è-vis the national past. The third and last section describes heritage work under Amadou Toumani Touré (2002–12), analyzing some continuities but also noticeable shifts, particularly in his adoption of the transnational trope of reconciliation and the proliferation of public rituals of appeasement and consensus building. This section also examines the shrinking opposition's countermemory project; the rekindling of struggles around Mo...

The focus on women’s informal networks allows authors to foreground women’s agency, and in particular third world women’s, which still remains scarcely represented in much of the literature in the social sciences. This lack of representation is explained as due both to the characters of knowledge production, including the market forces that regulate such production, as well as the forms of women’s agency. A significant part of the available social studies literature centers on the study of women’s movements in Europe and the United States, is made by western scholars, and privileges English as the medium of knowledge transmission. It follows that “The lessons from the lives of more than half of the world’s women are yet to become central to theories about women’s lives from a glob...
