“…Anti-racist feminists, including Sedef Arat-Koç, Himani Bannerji, Tania Das Gupta and the late Roxana Ng, among others, described and analysed the concentration of racialized women in low-paying employment (Dua, 1999, p. 14) within a socialist feminist political economy framework. Black and African feminists in Canadian universities describe and analyse resilience and diversity among francophone and Anglophone women in the diaspora, from slavery through to today (e.g., McKittrick, 2006;Mianda, 1997;Wane, 2009). Yet white women's scholarship dominates feminist contributions (Carty, 2014;Henry, 2015).…”

In this article, I review contemporary Indigenous women’s scholarship, describing transformations from 1985 to the present, first to characterize this scholarship on its own terms and second to situate this literature with respect to recent, nascent dialogues with anti-racist feminisms. What is the focus and range of Indigenous women’s scholarship, from 1985 until today? What does this work seek to do, that is, what are the intertwined political and scholarly aims of this scholarship? I suggest that Indigenous women’s scholarly writing is concerned with resilience, or survival, resistanceor challenges to colonial power and relationships, and resurgence, or a turning-inward to renew Indigenous knowledges and practices. In the discussion, I briefly consider how the increasingly rich and diverse field of Indigenous women’s theorizing and praxis informs an emerging dialogue with anti-racist feminist scholars within the academy and in the broader context of colonial Canada.

Seeking to capture the multi-layered, contradictory, nature of subjectivities and social positions through a framework which insists upon the complex, dynamic nature of the social, intersectionality feminism has inspired Marxist-Feminists to push the social-reproduction feminism paradigm beyond a narrow preoccupation with gender/class relations. Yet even its most politically radical articulations stop short of fully theorising the integrative logic they espouse. This article explores the roots of this under-theorisation, and suggests that a more fully integrative ontology informs certain formulations of social-reproduction feminism. In understanding the social as constituted by practical human activity whose object (the social and natural world) is organised capitalistically, social-reproduction feminism highlights the dialectical relationship between the capitalist whole and its differentiated parts. The challenge for Marxist-Feminism is to embrace this dialectical approach while building on the insights of intersectionality feminism to more convincingly capture the unity of a complex, diverse social whole.

Le colonialisme, le postcolonialisme et le féminisme : un discours féministe en Afrique francophone subsaharienne

L’auteure offre un texte qui souligne l’édification du discours féministe dans l’Afrique francophone subsaharienne postcoloniale. En partant des premières publications subversives produites par les Africaines sur la condition sociale des femmes, elle fait ressortir leur apport aux études féministes. Deux essais, La parole aux négresses d’Awa Thiam (1978) et Lettre d’une Africaine à ses soeurs occidentales de Calixte Beyala (1995), ainsi que deux romans, Une si longue lettre de Mariama Bâ (1979) et Elle sera de jaspe et de corail. Journal d’une misovire de WereWere Liking (1983), servent de grille d’entrée afin de suivre dans sa trajectoire la construction de ce discours féministe africain. Ainsi, l’exploration de ces quatre ouvrages permet de rendre visible et audible la contribution invisibilisée des Africaines à la francophonie féministe blanche dominante. Par ailleurs, l’auteure montre que le discours féministe africain, dans sa formulation, est résistant à l’égard de certains principes du féminisme blanc dominant.
