Woman, African, Other - Black Feminism and Intersectionality in the Contemporary Works of African Diasporic Women

In their literary works, African diasporic women articulate how the lived experience and subjugated status of women of African descent within local and global contexts are shaped by colonial and patriarchal networks of power. Using Black feminism as the overarching theory, »Woman, African, Other« unpacks how interlocking (lethal) structures of white supremacy, slavery, colonialism, cultural patriarchy, misogynoir, as well as modified structures of neocolonialism, neoliberalism, racialized capitalism, Western humanitarianism, and postcolonial nation-state laws and narratives, impact the gendered experiences of women of African heritage and permit our continued humiliation in the global sphere.
