Feminist Africa is a publication of the African Gender Institute and the continental Feminist Studies Network. Initiated in 2001,and currently hosted at the African Gender Institute at the University of Cape Town, it is produced by an editorial team in conjunction with an international editorial advisory group drawn from the feminist scholarly community.
Feminist Africa is a unique forum for progressive, cutting-edge feminist intellectual dialogue and gender research on the African continent. It offers a space for theoretical and strategic debates that challenge the prevailing technocratic approaches to global development,and the reductionism of economic and policy approaches that neglect the lived realities, ingenuity and cultural production of Africa’s diverse and dynamic peoples. Feminist Africa challenges the shared continental history of exploitation and marginalisation by attending to the complex cultures of resistance and local strategy that characterise the postcolonial era, while at the same time remaining attentive to the shifting global geopolitical confi gurations of power.
