"Written in love and fire, African Feminist Praxis is meticulous and visionary." Dr Pumla Dineo Gqola, SARChI Chair in African Feminist Imagination, Nelson Mandela University, and author of Female Fear Factory
"With penetrating alacrity, African Feminist Praxis skillfully spans the continent to illuminate women’s transformative agency spurred by structural gender injustice. Horn succinctly re-centers Black feminists into the global narrative of decolonial liberation praxis. This rich and multilayered book leaves no doubt about the power and epistemic labour of African feminists in shaping the course of history." Dr. Sylvia Tamale, author of Decolonization and Afro-Feminism
