In the seminal edited volume from which this issue borrows its thematic title, Moyo and Yeros (2011) turned to “the task of bringing the national question back to life as a specifically economic question.” Through a focus on the internal dynamics of states, they summed up the imperative of the national question as a movement towards reclaiming natural resources, namely land, energy and mineral deposits, and restructuring of the apparatus of the state in the name of the oppressed.

Dear, Friends and Colleagues,

It is with enormous pleasure that we proudly announce that after our 3-year break and relocation to the University of Ghana’s Institute of African Studies, Feminist Africa is once again up and running. We begin our second phase of existence with the long-awaited re-launch issue on a topic of great urgency and strategic importance to Africa and the world, entitled:

Extractivism, Resistance, Alternatives

Feminist Africa 2021, Volume 2, Issue 1

Feminist Africa, Volume 2, Issue 1 (2021): Extractivism, Resistance, Alternatives

Edited by long-time Feminist African editors, contributors, and activist scholars, Charmaine Pereira and Dzodzi Tsikata, this issue continues Feminist Africa’s tradition of being digitally available and openly accessible to the world. With this re-launching, we continue to ensure that African knowledge and information can be freely available to readers across Africa and the rest of the world, to overcome the exclusionary pay-walls of corporate and academic capitalist publishers.

A great many Feminist Africans have laboured, struggled and otherwise contributed to establish our new digital infrastructure, and we have new people working on all aspects of our editorial and production process. This effort is led and driven by the Feminist African community’s dedication and commitment to Feminist Africa’s shared vision and mission.

Enjoy reading and be inspired to activism.

Amina Mama,
