摘要

摘要：20世纪50年代末，以色列外交部国际合作司发起了一项倡议，将以色列作为发展中国家提高妇女地位的倡导者。以色列最早针对非洲妇女的举措之一是肯尼亚-以色列农村社会工作者培训学校。本文借鉴了独立后留在肯尼亚的以色列援助工作者和政治家、联合国顾问和英国官员的档案材料，探讨了以色列在非洲的国际发展计划的性别层面。这篇文章重点介绍了非洲内政对以色列发展援助演变的重要性，以色列政府官员和援助工作者之间有时表现出的紧张关系，以及以色列外交部宣传的以色列妇女赋权形象与以色列妇女作为技术专家在非洲工作的经验之间的差异。

Israeli Aid and the “African Woman”: The Gendered Politics of International Development, 1958–73

Abstract:In the late 1950s, the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s Division for International Cooperation launched an initiative to present the state of Israel as a champion of women’s advancement in the developing world. One of Israel’s earliest initiatives for African women was the Kenya-Israel Rural Social Workers Training School. Drawing upon archival material from Israeli aid workers and politicians, United Nations advisors, and British officials who remained in Kenya after independence, this article explores the gendered dimensions of Israel’s international development program in Africa. The article brings into focus the importance of African domestic affairs for the evolution of Israeli development aid, the tensions that sometimes characterized relations between Israeli government officials and aid workers, and the discrepancy between the image of Israeli women’s empowerment promoted by Israel’s Foreign Ministry and the experiences of Israeli women working in Africa as technical experts.

期刊介绍： Jewish Social Studies recognizes the increasingly fluid methodological and disciplinary boundaries within the humanities and is particularly interested both in exploring different approaches to Jewish history and in critical inquiry into the concepts and theoretical stances that underpin its problematics. It publishes specific case studies, engages in theoretical discussion, and advances the understanding of Jewish life as well as the multifaceted narratives that constitute its historiography.
