Conversational Bridges in African Feminisms: Weaving Knowledge Together
Edited by Polo B. Moji, Kharnita Mohamed and Aika Swai, this is a groundbreaking collection that stemmed from the African Feminist Conference held in South Africa in 2021.
Affirming dialogue as a mode of knowledge production across identity positions and generational differences, Conversational Bridges in African Feminisms: Weaving Knowledge Together highlights the power of this method in building and sustaining African feminist communities.
The conversations explore diverse terrain: from critical discussions on current geopolitics and its influence on women, to sexuality, class, and power struggles globally, and responses needed to address the scourge of gender-based violence. By centralising the power of dialogue among feminist scholars, activists and artists, the collection shows how African feminists theorise their lived experiences, thereby building communities of activism, of care and of solidarity.
It is an important collection for African feminists globally to engage in current debates and conversations.
