Understanding the processes related to gender construction requires a multi and interdisciplinary approach. Complexity emerges as a category of investigation and an end to be pursued, giving space to a plurality of voices, interpretations, and points of view. With such intellectual curiosity, the volume's authors questioned the inclusion and exclusion of these multiple voices in education. How has teaching on gender made room for this complexity? What views were included? Which ones were overlooked? What have educational models for children been privileged in the imagination? Which histories and stories have accompanied them in acquiring an awareness linked to gender? Through such important questions and many more, the volume highlights the gender changes that took place from mid-eighteen century to today in various contexts relating to formal and informal education through an international comparative perspective. The multiplicity of approaches, methodologies, and perspectives allows us to read and analyze these changes in a composite way, underlining little-known aspects of gender studies in the historical-educational field.

Les paysans furent sur eux comme l'éclair. Des nègres dévalaient de partout, machette à la main, certains même armés des deux mains, machette et couteau. Personne n'eut le temps de tirer, encore moins de mettre baïonnette au canon. Le capitaine prit un coup de sabre sur le bras, hurla, lâcha sa mitraillette, se recula vivement, dégaina en jurant, de la main gauche, son pistolet. Le sang coulait de sa blessure. Un macoute, devant lui, s'écroulait, le crâne fendu d'un coup de machette. Erilien para de justesse, du fusil, un coup de machette, esquiva un coup de couteau. La bagarre était générale, machettes contre crosses de fusil. Des paysans dévalaient toujours en criant comme des démons. Un autre homme s'écroula en hurlant, le ventre ouvert par un coup de couteau. Puis un autre, pratiquement décapité par un revers de machette. Les macoutes lâchèrent pied. Ça gueulait de partout. Le regard d'Erilien croisa celui du petit capitaine, dont le pistolet fumait et dont le bras droit saignait toujours. -- Foutons le camp!

This book focuses on alternative types of slave narratives, especially courtroom testimony, and interrogates how such narratives were produced, the societies (both those that were majority slave societies and those in which slaves were a distinct minority of the population) in which testimony was permitted, and the meanings that can be attached to such narratives. The chapters in this book provide valuable information about the everyday lives—including the inner and spiritual lives—of enslaved African American and Native American individuals in the British and French Atlantic World, from Canada to the Caribbean. It explores slave testimony as a form of autobiographical narrative, and in ways that allow us to foreground enslaved persons’ lived experience as expressed in their own words.
