Resisting Dominant Discourse: Implication of Indigenous, African Feminist Theory and Methods for Gender and Education Research

Download PDF

In the paper we explore tensions between Western gender theory and research, and post-colonial and indigenous feminist standpoints, which challenges us to redefine our roles as feminist-activist educators and researchers working with formerly colonised and historically marginalised communities. We discuss how African and Black feminist approaches can enable the construction of context-specific knowledge of African women's power via relational world views of motherhood, family, sisterhood and friendship.
