"10 Questions on Black Feminisms" with Fania Noël

Afrofeminism, Black Feminisms (with capital letters), Black women who are feminists, Black women who are politically engaged, decolonial feminism, intersectional feminisms, African feminism. There are many names and identity categories, used interchangeably which often leads to misunderstandings.
This book presents a history of Black Feminisms and the major concepts underlying their struggles. The author addresses several ways in which these feminisms provide essential theoretical and militant frameworks for social, anti-patriarchal and anticapitalist justice – space for one's own, carceral abolitionism, the memory of slavery, relationships to one’s body, without forgetting the subjects which still divide.

Fania Noël is an essayist and Afrofeminist activist. She has a doctorate in sociology and is an assistant professor at the Pratt Institute in New York. Her areas of research lie at the intersection of the political sociology of Black Studies, gender studies, and critical media studies. Her latest work And Now Power: an Afrofeminist Political Horizon was published in 2022 by Cambourakis.
