Coloniality, feminism and emancipation processes

Abstract

In this paper we propose to analyze some orientalist narratives developed in the heat of the colonial processes experienced by Muslim-majority African countries during the XIX century and how these racialized narratives operate and are re-signified within various current emancipatory movements, such as western-hegemonic feminism. In this direction we invite to think of feminisms in plural and to recognize other possible cartographies of resistance.
