Caribbean Feminist Praxis: The Scholarly and Activist Work of Rhoda Reddock
The project to define a specific Caribbean feminism as different from the Western bourgeois European-American model was consistently a central concern for Caribbean feminists, from the 1980s inceptions that marked the start of CAFRA—the Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Activism—of which Rhoda Reddock was founding president, and continuing into the present. Reddock has been at the forefront of defining that Caribbean feminism in bot…

Black Women's Rights: Leadership and the Circularities of Power
Black Women's Rights: Leadership and the Circularities of Power presents Black women as alternative and transformative leaders in the highest political positions and at grassroots community levels. Beginning with a critique of the assumption of an equivalence between masculinity and political leadership, Carole Boyce Davies moves through the various conceptual definitions, intents, and meanings of leadership and the differences in the presentatio…

Decolonizing Literary Studies: Beyond English and Romance Studies Departments
In Decolonizing the Academy (2003), we argued that the current university is a liberating space for the transformational of knowledge but simultaneously functions also as a space that reinscribes colonial politics through a variety of departments founded under the principles of maintaining hegemonic politics of former European and American powers. African and Caribbean universities, structured under these models repeat the patterns of dominance i…

From Masquerade to Maskarade: Caribbean Cultural Resistance and the Rehumanizing Project
Gender/Class Intersections and African Women's Rights
African women's rights, in its early expressions, was linked to the critique of particular economic/class systems which disempowered the majority of women in contemporary Africa. However, the discourse was subsequently dominated by a move towards feminist politics as cultural politics. The way gender and class intersect in an African context continues to be an ongoing critical lever of analysis, despite some recent turns in the study of African g…

She Wants the Black Man Post”: Constructions of race, sexuality and political leadership in popular culture
Recent feminist scholarship on women in politics focuses in part, on the commodification of women's leadership and statecraft. A consequence of how globalising capitalism permeates political processes, this trend has grown alongside higher premiums being placed on political power and influence. The instrumentalising of leadership for personal and capitalist gain is especially pronounced in the global South, where the state becomes a pivotal means…

This study is a strong addition to the growing body of scholarly analysis examining the Afro-American contribution. Proceeding chronologically from William Wells Brown's Clotel (1853) to experimental novels of the 1980s, Bell comments on more than 150 works, with close…
