What to expect

What happens when we consider Africa through a feminist lens and feminism through an African one? And what does it mean to centre selfhood in this journey?

In this shining, wide-ranging inquiry, Minna Salami explores these questions through an unhesitating and incisive vision of African feminist political philosophy.

Drawing from feminist thought, postcolonial theory, historical insights, and African knowledge systems, Salami combines personal reflection with cultural criticism to offer a vivid and cohesive discussion about power, identity, patriarchy, imagination, and the human condition. Grounded in Africa’s enduring visions of agency and autonomy, Can Feminism Be African? opens new paths for rethinking the narratives that shape our world.

This is a timely and thought-provoking read, calling us to rethink the past, present, and future through new perspectives.

Critics Review

PRAISE FOR SENSUSOUS KNOWLEDGE:

‘A probing, challenging and imaginative book that dares position black feminism as the prism through which we can better experience and understand the world. I savored it as intellectual soul food, while relishing the richness of Minna Salami’s ideas and the persuasiveness of her writing. This book is an important addition to the feminist canon in that it shifts our world view and introduces new and exciting possibilities for ways of being’

Bernardine Evaristo

‘Sensuous Knowledge is an eloquent mélange of ideas and disciplines; part deep, intersectional analysis of structural power, part metaphysical journey into a genius the West hasn’t given language to. An essential read for a new decade’

Johny Pitts, author of Afropean

‘A timely, refreshing, nourishing and captivating read. In the era of ever widening division and cultural strife, Sensuous Knowledge urges us to rethink power, sisterhood, beauty, identity and more. A crucial read which through the sharing of African-centered approaches alleviate political and social frustrations. On these pages there really is something to learn for everyone’
