| description | This article focuses on the development of gender studies in the Cameroonian University milieu. The purpose is to examine the difficulties of the emergence of an epistemological field dedicated to gender in the historical sector, in connection with dominant discourses on gender relations, internalized by men and women, as well as their effects on the building of knowledge about gender. From a field research coupled with an analysis of a varied written literature, the study highlights some historical, epistemological and structural obstacles to the development of gender studies in historical research in Cameroon. It turns out that the preponderance of male supremacy in history, the low audience and the marked feminization of Cameroon’s historiography devoted to gender, as well as the insufficient incorporation of this field into the national academic scene, block its emergence as an area of autonomous knowledge. |
