Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
First published in 1993, this is a new edition of the classic text in which Clenora HudsonWeems sets out a paradigm for women of African descent. Examining the status, struggles and experiences of the Africana woman forced into exile in Europe, Latin America, the United States or at Home in Africa, the theory outlines the experience of Africana women as unique and separate from that of some other women of color, and, of course, from white women. Differentiating itself from the problematic theories of Western feminisms, Africana Womanism allows an establishment of cultural identity and relationship directly to ancestry and land.This new edition includes five new chapters as well as an evolution of the classic Africana womanist paradigm, to that of AfricanaMelanated Womanism. It shows how race, class and gender must be prioritized in the fight against every day racial dominance. Africana Womanism: Reclaiming Ourselves offers a new term and paradigm for women of African descent. A familycentered concept, prioritizing race, class and gender, it offers eighteen features of the Africana womanist (selfnamer, selfdefiner, familycentered, genuine in sisterhood, strong, in concert with male in the liberation struggle, whole, authentic, flexible role player, respected, recognized, spiritual, male compatible, respectful of elders, adaptable, ambitious, mothering, nurturing), applying them to characters in novels by Hurston, B, Marshall, Morrison and McMillan. It evolves from Africana Womanism to AfricanaMelanated Womanism.This is an important work and essential reading for researchers and students in women and gender studies, Africana studies, AfricanAmerican studies, literary studies and cultural studies, particularly with the emergence of family centrality (community and collective engagement), the very cornerstone of Africana Womanism since its inception.
