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:
Patricia McFadden,“Subjectivity is the Critical Foundational Expression of Feminist Contemporarity”
Minna Salami, “African Feminist Individuation”
Juliana Makuchi Nfah-Abbenyi, “”I don't mean to be Racist but ...” “Home and the Politics of Belonging”
Amber Lascelles, “The Dancing Women Move Forward": Embodied Agency and Black Feminist Solidarity in Tsitsi Dangarembga's This Mournable Body”
Unifier Dyer, “Ubuntu and the More-Than Human: Lessons from African and African Diaspora Feminists”
Zinhle ka'Nobuhlaluse, “In Conversation with Mamphela Ramphele on the Urgency of Storytelling for Blackwomen in South Africa”

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.
