摘要
African Feminisms" is the collective label given to the various approaches to demanding equality for African women in the face of the unique oppressions and restrictions they endure because they are African and women. This essay argues that African feminisms exist in the plural because women on the continent experience a variety of oppressions owing to their contexts and identities, and this gives rise to a multitude of approaches to equality. However, these multitude of approaches are united by three core characteristics - African feminisms are networked, intersectional and decolonial. Drawing from my own research into digital technologies and human mobilities, I propose one approach to using African feminisms as a method to conduct political analysis and develop political theory more broadly
