African Feminist Praxis

Rezensionen / Stimmen

With penetrating alacrity, African Feminist Praxis skillfully spans the continent to illuminate women's transformative agency spurred by structural gender injustice. Horn succinctly re-centers Black feminists into the global narrative of decolonial liberation praxis. This rich and multilayered book leaves no doubt about the power and epistemic labour of African feminists in shaping the course of history. -- Dr. Sylvia Tamale Jessica Horn's rendering of the complex landscapes of African feminist energies as archive, politico-legal recalibration, imaginative experiment and visionary life-worlds is a superlative offering. Written in love and fire, African Feminist Praxis is meticulous and visionary. -- Dr. Pumla Dineo Gqola Jessica Horn's African Feminist Praxis is a ground-breaking and visionary work that weaves together decades of African feminist thought, activism, and rebellious spirit. For those who lived through these pivotal moments and for those seeking to trace the powerful lineage of African feminisms, this volume stands as an essential, bold, and inspiring testament and an indispensable contribution to feminist scholarship. -- Bibi Bakare-Yusuf A must-read for all who wish to understand the character and scope of forms of feminism across Africa; to shift the centre of feminist analytic gravity away from the Global North; and who are in need of resources of hope, courage and transformative imagination. -- Gail Lewis * LSE Review of Books, London School of Economics and Political Science (bit.ly/4mWLeIi) *
