Ambiguous Loss\u0000 theory suggests that a family member can be emotionally or psychologically present but\u0000 physically absent or physically present but psychologically absent. The paper asserts\u0000 that African American women always have lived with ambiguity and suggests reclaiming\u0000 tenets of the theory. As a case study, the paper uses the lives of women in Ava\u0000 DuVerney’s Queen Sugar and lyrics of the series’ theme song to explore the dilemma of\u0000 expected ways of being (“keep the color in the line”) alongside desire (“dreams never\u0000 dying”) and hopes (“taking flight”). The paper encourages African American women to\u0000 pursue healing while living the mystery while unapologetically reclaiming and reframing\u0000 what it means to live with ambiguity. It proposes a model of care that centralizes\u0000 spirit and spirit work, rituals and music and dance, radical socialization, creating a\u0000 spirit space for inner well-being, using power from the periphery, reclaiming collective\u0000 memories, and leaving a signpost for the generations to remember.","PeriodicalId":217731,"journal":{"name":"Black Women and Religious Cultures","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115351935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Before reporting findings from taking their discourses on the definition of a woman to the streets of Madina and Legon, the paper briefly summarizes feminist perspectives in the West and notes homogeneity and heterogeneity of women’s experiences around the globe. It zooms in on feminism in Africa and Ghana, examining the definition of a woman in traditional Ghanaian culture, popular music, literature, knowledge production, media, and religion. The author argues that there are multiple feminisms with relatively contextual variations in defining a woman, yet all geared towards making society masculine as the debate revolves around patriarchy, i.e., “peppering” and “sugaring” men at the expense of focus on women. Findings indicate that PDM and SDG neo-feminist groups diverge fundamentally in the primary focus of their activism. They also differ in their commitment to advocating for all women by prioritizing an intersectional approach in their engagement. Participants from the Madina Market and the University of Ghana at Legon supported both groups. For some PDM seems too “strong” and is tagged as Western in orientation and elitist as educated folks mainly support it. In contrast, a mixed-bag of the participants appear to accept SDG. Pro-SDG supporters consider their model as the norm in Ghana.
