Feminist Africa
Feminist Africa provides a forum for progressive, cutting-edge gender research and feminist dialogue focused on the continent. By prioritising intellectual rigor, the journal seeks to challenge the technocratic fragmentation resulting from donor-driven and narrowly developmentalist work on gender in Africa. It also encourages innovation in terms of style and subject-matter as well as design and lay-out. It promotes dialogue by stimulating experimentation as well as new ways of engaging with text for readers.
A commitment to transforming gender hierarchies in Africa will shape a
strongly continental focus for the journal's subject-matter, design and mode of
distribution. Issues will confront linkages between different African regions,
nation-states and social identities, and register the unique challenges facing
a continent with a shared history of exploitation and marginalisation. At the
same time, the journal acknowledges that Africa's myriad social and cultural
processes are inextricably linked to global processes.
