Feminist Af rican Philosophy: Women and the Politics of Difference

The bo ok argues that women’s perspectives and gender issues must be mainstream ed in African philosophy in order for the discipline to truly represent the thoughts and aspirations of Africans on the continent and in the dia spora. African philosophy as an academic discipline emerged as a direct challenge to Western and Eurocentric hegemonies. It sought to actualize the project of decolonization and to contribute African people's perspec tives to global discourses. There has, however, been a dominance of male perspectives in this field of human knowledge. This book argues that Af rican philosophy cannot claim to have liberated people of African descen t from marginalization until the problem of androcentrism in African phi losophy is addressed. Key concepts such as Ujamaa, Negritude, Ubuntu, Co nsciencism, and African Socialism are explored as they relate to African women’s lives or as models of inclu¬sion or exclusion from politics. In addition to offering a feminist critique of African philosophy, the boo k also discusses topics that have been consistently overlooked in Africa n philosophy. These topics include gender, sexuality, rape, motherhood, sex work, female genital mutilation, virginity, widow inheritance, women and poverty, motherhood, domestic violence against women, polygyny, and women's low participation in politics.
