Feminist Africa Journal

Feminist Africa is a free online journal that aims to provide a forum for progressive, gender research and feminist dialogue focused on the continent of Africa. “By prioritising intellectual rigor, the journal seeks to challenge the technocratic fragmentation resulting from donor-driven and narrowly developmentalist work on gender in Africa.“ It also aims to encourage innovation in terms of style and subject matter as well as design and lay-out. It promotes dialogue by stimulating experimentation as well as new ways of engaging with text for readers.

The journal’s commitment to transforming gender hierarchies in Africa shapes a strongly continental focus for the journal's subject matter, design and mode of distribution. Issues in the journal are expected to “confront linkages between different African regions, nation-states and social identities, and register the unique challenges facing a continent with a shared history of exploitation and marginalisation. At the same time, the journal acknowledges that Africa's myriad social and cultural processes are inextricably linked to global processes.”
