Deprovincializing the Feminine/Feminist Cameroonian Nationalism of the 1950s: The UDEFEC and Pluriversal Black Feminism
Abstract:This article seeks to enrich the production of knowledge about Black feminisms by documenting the mobilizations of the Cameroonian nationalist activists of the Democratic Union of Cameroonian Women, or UDEFEC, in the middle of the 1950s. I will center the contributions of African women to movements for women’s equality. To this end, I consider the emancipatory speeches and practices elaborated by female activists coming from rural zones within the frame of the reorganization of the nationalist public space in order to understand how their participation in the fight for liberation reveals a Black feminist practice. This approach outlines the contours of a political project as the vector for a holistic, equitable emancipation, focused on the margins and founded on the dismantling of the coloniality of gender and female citizenship, on the one hand, and the establishment of a democratic society that values popular sovereignty, on the other.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Women"s History is the first journal devoted exclusively to the international field of women"s history. It does not attempt to impose one feminist "line" but recognizes the multiple perspectives captured by the term "feminisms." Its guiding principle is a belief that the divide between "women"s history" and "gender history" can be, and is, bridged by work on women that is sensitive to the particular historical constructions of gender that shape and are shaped by women"s experience.
