  • Editorial Amina Mama
    Editorial Amina Mama The launch of Feminist Africa marks a critical moment in the continental history of gender politics. Three decades after the development industry first began to respond to the international resurgence of women's movements, African gender politics have become increasingly complex and contradictory. Feminism, as a movement that is both global and local, leaves little untouched. In post-colonial contexts it presents a praxis that directly opposes the hegemonic interests of multinational corporations, international financial and development agencies and nation-states, as well as the persisting male domination of disparate traditional structures, civil society formations and social movements. In African contexts, feminism has emerged out of women's deep engagement with and commitment to national liberation, so it is hardly surprising that African women's movements today feature in the disparate struggles and social movements characterising post-colonial life. African women are mobilising at local, regional and international levels, and deploying various strategies and forms. Little wonder that they display gender politics ranging from the radically subversive to the unashamedly conservative. Gender politics in post-colonial Africa are deeply contested, within and beyond the minority who might name themselves as feminists. Today's women activists are as likely to be engaging the World Bank over the deleterious impact of structural adjustment on African women as they are to be lobbying the national governments over the marginalisation of women in the corridors of political power, or challenging traditional and community-based organisations. Since independence, the persistence of patriarchal hegemony across the African region has stimulated a visible proliferation of feminist scholarship and strategy, yet this is only rarely brought together for collective reflection and analysis.

  • Conversation Living Feminist Politics - Amina Mama Interviews Winnie Byanyima
    Conversation Living Feminist Politics - Amina Mama interviews Winnie Byanyima Winnie Byanyima is MP for Mbarara Municipality in Western Uganda. The daughter of two well-known politicians, she was a gifted scholar and won awards to pursue graduate studies in aeronautical engineering. However, she chose to join the National Resistance Movement under Museveni's leadership, and later became one of the first women to stand successfully for direct elections. Winnie is best known for her gender advocacy work with non- governmental organisations, her anti-corruption campaigns, and her opposition to Uganda's involvement in the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She is currently affiliated to the African Gender Institute, where she is writing a memoir of three generations of women – her grandmother, her mother and her own life in politics. Here she is interviewed by Amina Mama on behalf of Feminist Africa. Amina Mama: Let's begin by talking about your early life, and some of the formative influences. Winnie Byanyima: I grew up pretty much my father's daughter. I admired him very much, and people said I was like him. I had a more difficult relationship with my mother. But in the last few years as I've tried to reflect on who I am and why I believe the things that I believe, I've found myself coming back to my mother and my grandmother, and having to face the fact that I take a lot from those women. It's tough, because it means that I must recognise all that I didn't take as important about my mother's struggles.

  • Historicising the Women's Manifesto for Ghana
    Amoah-Boampong, C./ Historicising The Women’s Manifesto for Ghana DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ljh.v29i2.2 Historicising The Women’s Manifesto for Ghana: A culmination of women’s activism in Ghana Cyrelene Amoah-Boampong Senior Lecturer Department of History University of Ghana, Legon, Ghana E-mail: [email protected] Submitted: April 13, 2018/ Accepted: October 20, 2018 / Published: December 3, 2018 Abstract Women are one of Ghana’s hidden growth resources. Yet, Ghanaian women have been marginalized from the developmental discourse by a succession of hegemonic political administrations. At best, Ghanaian women were said to have a quiet activism, although each epoch had its own character of struggle. Bringing together history, gender and development, this article examines the historical trajectory of female agency in post- colonial Ghana. It argues that through the historisation of women’s activism, Ghanaian women’s agency and advocacy towards women’s rights and gender equality concerns rose from the era of quiet activism characterised by women’s groups whose operations hardly questioned women’s social status to contestation with the state epitomized by the creation of The Women’s Manifesto for Ghana in 2004 which played a critical role in women’s collective organisation and served as a key pathway of empowerment. Keywords: women, activism, empowerment, Women’s Manifesto, Ghana Introduction Globally, there exists gender disparities in human development. According to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, gender equality is fundamental to delivering on the promises of sustainability, peace and human progress (United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), 2016). Ghana adopted all 17 goals set to end poverty and ensure prosperity for all.

  • Academic Freedom and Social Responsibility of Intellectuals: What Are the New Challenges?” Oran 9-11 Th March 2010
    1st Draft – Not for circulation or citation. CODESRIA Conference ‘Academic Freedom and Social Responsibility of Intellectuals: What are the New Challenges?” Oran 9-11 th March 2010 The Challenges of Feminism: Gender, Ethics and Responsible Freedom Amina Mama University of California, Davis I Introduction Feminism challenges us at very many levels, and as an intellectual politics it also faces many challenges. It is a call to freedom, in an era where (as Mkandawire noted) there is generally less ‘freedom in the air’. It denotes the struggle to free women from centuries of oppression, exploitation and marginalization in all our societies. It is a call to end patriarchy and to expose, deconstruct and eradicate all the myriad personal, social, economic and political practices, habits and assumptions that sustain gender inequality and injustice around the world. It seeks nothing less than the transformation of our institutions, including our knowledge institutions. The widespread manifestations of feminism in the 21 st century affect all of us in numerous ways in various aspects of our personal, socio-cultural and political lives. As an intellectual paradigm, feminism was only beginning to push into the consciousness of Africa’s mainstream scholarly community 20 years ago. I will trace the role and contribution of feminism as an liberating paradigm within Africa’s scholarly community between 1990 and now, highlighting some of the challenges - institutional and intellectual - which it continues to pose for advocates of freedom in general, and socially responsible intellectual freedom in particular, and discussing some of the strategies that have emerged in the context of addressing the challenges.

  • Exploring the Transformative Essence of Intellectual Feminism in Africa
    Open Political Science, 2021; 4: 126–135 Research Article Al Chukwuma Okoli* Exploring the Transformative Essence of Intellectual Feminism in Africa: Some Contributions of Amina Mama https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2021-0013 received October 21, 2020; accepted January 14, 2021. Abstract: The paper seeks to explore the transformative essence of intellectual feminism in Africa, with particular reference to the contributions of Amina Mama. Following textual and contextual exegeses of works by or on the focal scholar-activist, as well as insights drawn on extant literature on aspects of her gender/feminist engagements/ scholarship, the paper posits that Amina Mama has made significant transformative contributions in various sites of intellectual feminism, especially in the areas of intellectual resourcing, academic leadership and mentoring, as well as strategic scholarly activism/advocacy. Among other things, the study intends to set an agenda on how to effectively link feminist scholarship to practice in an effort to mainstreaming social transformation in Africa. Keywords: Amina Mama, feminism, intellectual feminism, social transformation, transformational feminism 1 Introduction Feminism is a social belief system or movement dedicated to the emancipation of women from cultural and structural and allied inhibitions of the patriarchal world. It refers to “a complex set of political ideologies used by the women’s movement to advance the cause of women’s equality and put to an end to sexist theory and practice of social oppression” (Ngwainmbi, 2004: 95). As conceived by Mama (cited in Encyclopedia.com, 2018) “Feminism is broadly defined as the struggle for the liberation of women, and encompasses epistemologies, methodologies, theories, and modes of activism that seek to bring an end to the oppression and subordination of women by men”.

Introduction 1 Like elsewhere in the world, gender equity is increasingly gaining legitimacy in Anglophone African countries as an essential and critical dimension of sustainable development and cultural politics. Until the last two decades, however, feminist studies by geographers in this part of the world have not been very visible. Certainly, this situation was not peculiar to geography, but reflected national contexts where there was very little focus on gender in teaching, research and national development.

Preface In 2001, I spent a few months at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto, teaching a summer course on Feminist Theory and Activism in Africa. This was one of my responsibilities as the Dame Nita Barrow Distinguished Visitor for that academic year. When I was leaving, my good friend and mentor, Dr Angela Miles, on behalf of OISE, presented me with a beautiful farewell gift. It was a book about Canadian feminists, which had been painstakingly put together over a number of years. It featured portraits of individual feminists as well as some feminist collectives, all diverse in their backgrounds and callings, but all naming 4 themselves politically as feminists. As I read through the book, I thought to myself, how great it would be to 5 have something like this profiling African feminists .
