Conversational Bridges in African Feminisms: Weaving Knowledge Together

Affirming dialogue as a mode of knowledge production across identity positions and generational 
differences, Conversational Bridges in African Feminisms: Weaving Knowledge Together highlights 
the power of this method in building and sustaining African feminist communities. The conversations 
explore diverse terrain: from critical discussions on current geopolitics and its influence on women, 
to sexuality, class, and power struggles globally, and responses needed to address the scourge of 
gender-based violence. By centralising the power of dialogue among feminist scholars, activists and 
artists, the collection shows how African feminists theorise their lived experiences and in so doing 
build communities of activism, of care and of solidarity. 
This is a ground-breaking collection that stemmed from the African Feminist Conference (Afems) held 
in South Africa in 2021. It is an important collection for African feminists globally to engage in current 
debates and conversations.
