In Feminist Freedom, Minna Salami asks: What happens when we consider Africa through a feminist lens--and feminism through an African one?

Salami explores these questions through an unflinching and clear-sighted African feminist vision. From African knowledge systems to feminist thought and through postcolonial history, she reveals the matrix of power, identity, patriarchy, and imagination that animates everyday life. She tackles the hardest challenges to the African feminist movement--why feminism matters in Africa, how it relates to Black liberation and global feminism, whether African feminist is itself a contradiction--and confronts the backlash that both sparked and stalled its progress. Patriarchy and culture, she shows, can smother feminist fire--but language, history, and soul can reignite it.
