Résumé
This article analyzes the process of subjectivization initiatied through a policy of positive discrimination in New Caledonia. It focuses on the training of Kanak women who are 30 years old and older, and who learn to become drivers of mining machines. This policy of adult education creates material conditions that make the women realize that it is not impossible to transform relations of domination. Inspired by their childhood dreams, this women dare to request training courses that change the traditional sexual division of labor. Then, the very activity of working, because it is socially valued, brings about changes in their relationships to themselves and to the others.
