À propos de cet audio

The provided excerpts offer an expansive overview of Modern African Feminism, describing it as a dynamic movement rooted in histories of anti-colonial resistance and indigenous intellectual traditions rather than a Western import. The text explains that this movement is a diverse tapestry that addresses intersecting challenges like gender, class, race, and colonialism, with a core focus on communal well-being and collective liberation. It highlights historical figures such as Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti and authors like Mariama Bâ who established foundational critiques of patriarchy. Furthermore, the source details contemporary aspects, including the use of digital activism (e.g., #BringBackOurGirls) and the development of distinct African feminist theories like Stiwanism and Motherism, while acknowledging ongoing challenges, such as the frequent labeling of activists as "un-African."
