Situating the Book
African Feminist Praxis intervenes in African feminist knowledge production, not through a single, linear argument, but by means of an assemblage of feminist praxis, memory, and world-making. The book examines how African feminisms are lived, transmitted, remembered, and sustained across time and generations, particularly in contexts shaped by colonial and postcolonial violence, patriarchy, and historical erasure.
Structured around thematic engagements with courage, kinship, care, pleasure, and memory, the book moves across activist histories, cultural and aesthetic practices, digital and sonic archives, and embodied forms of transmission. It presents African feminist worlds, not as a unified or teleological narrative of feminist progress, but as plural, relational, and continuously in formation. Instead of offering closure or synthesis, the book foregrounds accumulation, presence, and transmission, allowing feminist histories to appear through partiality, repetition, and collective custodianship.
