‘Drawing from feminist thought, postcolonial theory, historical insights, and African knowledge systems, Salami combines personal reflection with cultural criticism to offer a vivid and cohesive discussion about power, identity, patriarchy, imagination, and the human condition. Grounded in Africa’s enduring visions of agency and autonomy, Can Feminism Be African? opens new paths for rethinking the narratives that shape our world.’

This continues on the threads of her last book – Sensuous Knowledge: A Black Feminist Approach for Everyone – which challenges the dominance of Europatriarchal knowledge and dares to stretch our sense-making much wider, bringing Black Feminist epistemologies to the centre.
