Food Is an African Feminist Issue
This essay argues that food—particularly the labor of preparing and producing food—should be seen as central to South African feminism, and to African feminisms more broadly. Salo explains how women provide the majority of the labor to produce food on the African continent, yet often are exposed to hunger because they do not own the means to food production. Moreover, as agribusiness encroaches on foodways and food production lands in Africa, thi…
In bodies and homes
How do the everyday contexts in which ordinary women struggle to access and maintain a place on the peripheries of the city shape experiences of citizenship? This paper explores this question in George, a periurban Lusaka neighbourhood in Zambia and through experiences of Zimbabwean migrant women’s negotiation of a place on the peri-urban edges of Khayelitsha, Cape Town, South Africa. In the logics of citizen-subjects, the experiences of these gr…

Retóricas ambivalentes
O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre um conjunto de questões relativas ao racismo, à sexualidade e ao contato intercultural na África do Sul, mais especificamente em Cape Town. Esta cidade, que já foi reconhecida como democrática, com expressiva população coloured e gay friendly se apresenta atualmente como uma das mais desiguais da África do Sul pós- apartheid. Percorremos trajetórias de homens e mulheres homo e heterossexuais, de diferentes…
Men, women, temporality and critical ethnography in Africa-the imperative for a transdisciplinary conversation
This article addresses concerns of African-based scholars about how we can adequately represent the social heterogeneity and the rich diversity of African subjects. I argue that by prioritising Pan-Africanist solidarity, and in our search for African authenticity, we often represent African social realities as undifferentiated. Consequently, we fail to represent the heterogeneity of societies that African subjects create through their everyday pr…
Negotiating Gender and Personhood in the New South Africa
This article examines the shifts in young men's and women's racial and gendered identities in Manenberg, a predominantly coloured, Afrikaans-speaking township in Cape Town, South Africa. It explores how male and female youth destabilizes, renovates and transforms local racial and gendered identities in relation to the local histories, repertoires and ideals of masculinity and femininity and in relation to global cultural forces such as soap opera…
Birth Control, Contraception and Women's Rights in SA
Access to safe birth control methods and knowledge about their effectivity and disadvantages are basic prerequisites for the liberation of women. But the propagation of contraceptive services in South Africa has often adversely affected black women's health and has largely ignored their needs for education and personal choice. Focusing on interviews with a cross-section of the residents of Heideveld, a coloured township in Cape Town, this study i…
