"Jessica Horns African Feminist Praxis is a ground-breakingand visionary work that weaves together decades of African feminist thought, activism, and rebellious spirit." -Bibi Bakare-Yusuf, Independent Scholar and Publisher at Cassava Republic Press "This rich and multilayered book leaves no doubt about the power and epistemic labour of African feminists in shaping the course of history." -Dr. Sylvia Tamale, Author of Decolonization and Afro-Feminism"Written in love and fire, African Feminist Praxis is meticulous and visionary." -Dr. Pumla Dineo Gqola, South African Research Chair in African Feminist Imagination, Nelson Mandela University and Author of Female Fear Factory So much of the story of African resistance has been told in the masculine, tracing the history of spectacle: great struggles, great speeches, the grand displays of nation building. This book adds to the literature that reverses this, exploring the flesh and breadth of contemporary African feminist politics as articulated across the African continent. It is structured around the key principles of kinship, courage, pleasure, care and memory, and draws on the African feminist academic canon, the "grey literature" of practitioner knowledge and narratives of feminists activists themselves.


Through this it evidences the argument that African feminist praxis is fundamentally a politics of proposition, a mode of liberatory worldmaking.
