Please join us as we launch the publication of “Writing African Feminist Subjectivities,” the first Special Issue dedicated to African feminism in the history of Feminist Formations.

Our invited speakers are the Special Issue contributors:
Gabeba Baderoon, “Making History and Writing the Present: The WCCR and Black Feminism at the University of Cape Town,” “Sand is History,” and “”Beach/Law”
Maha Marouan, “Moroccan Feminist Subjectivities and the Ethics of Relationality”
Catey Boyle, “”Ambra, Matyla, and Marie: Gendered Racialization, Anti-Blackness, And Legacies of Slavery in Tunisia, Early Nineteenth Century–Present”
Tushabe wa Tushabe, “For I am an African (Feminist) and Other Meanings of Subjectivity”
Shailja Patel, “Song of the Body” and “My Grandmother's Youth in Eighteen Lines”

This Special Issue responds to the lack of scholarship on African feminist subjectivities within the broader feminist canon by creating space for feminists of Africa to theorize, conceptualize, and critically address the multiple dimensions of their lived experiences. The contributions that comprise this issue are framed and grounded in African ontological and epistemic modalities and informed by African feminist intellectual legacies.
