History 356: Comparative History of Third World Women  Reading Material
Last updated: 8/22/01

 The following books (all paperback) will be available for purchase in the U.D. bookstore. We will also rely heavily on reserve readings, which will be put on both hard copy and electronic reserve—the latter to the utmost extent possible. Everything which is not from the books below will be on reserve. I will periodically update this list with recommended reading and books from which we will be doing reserve reading.

• Echewa, T. Obinkaram. I Saw the Sky Catch Fire.
