Decolonization and Afro- Feminism makes a major epistemic contribution to charting Africa's way forward. A comprehensive effort, it should have a broad appeal transcending disciplines and other colonial borders. Tamale alerts us to new forms of domination such as digital colonialism. This book will leave you thinking!-Oyeronke Oyewumi, author of The Invention of Women: Making an African Sense of Western Gender Discourses
Decolonization and Afro-Feminism is a book we all need! It brings an encyclopaedic rigour and a committed feminist analysis to the study of decolonization and what it offers as a liberatory praxis in contemporary Africa. Sylvia Tamale's scholarship has always been rooted in solidarity with the lived struggles of African feminists, queer communities and African academics, and it shows in her exploration of the many challenges that have shaped contemporary struggles around gender, sexuality, race, justice and Africa's freedom. Essential Reading.-Jessica Horn, Feminist writer and co-founder, African Feminist Forum Working Group
in this extraordinary and erudite book, sylvia tamale, the distinguished ugandan scholar and public intellectual, brilliantly dissects and demolishes the dangerous tropes of coloniality that distort our understanding of african societies, cultures, bodies, institutions, experiences, social relations, and realities. she unsparingly and compellingly advances the analytical power and emancipatory possibilities of decolonial feminism. using the concept of intersectionality she moves seamlessly and examines with a sense of fierce urgency the decolonial project over a wide range of spheres from ecofeminism to sports, the law, religion, human rights, ubuntu, the academy, family relations, pan- africanism, and big data. a must read for all those who value the decolonization of eurocentric and androcentric knowledges and the recentering of african epistemologies and ontologies. it is a clarion call for the continent's feminist epistemic liberation.- Paul Tiyambe Zeleza, Professor of the Humanities and Social Sciences and Vice Chancellor, United States International University-Africa, Nairobi, Kenya
