A Model of Liberation? The Reality of Clitoridectomy and Its Relevance to Afro-American Women.
Perkins, Margo V.
Sage: A Scholarly Journal on Black Women, Suppl p42-44 1988
Female circumcision dates back 2000 years. In the U.S. it was performed until 1904 on white women. In Africa it still serves economic and political interests of men. Blacks should not look to all African traditions as models of liberation. In this case, all women should work to eradicate this practice. (VM)
