Pan-African Feminist Popular Education

This issue centers on Pan-African feminist popular education in Global Africa as a liberatory force for African women. It documents both historical and contemporary practices, inspired by long-standing, often undocumented traditions within Pan-African and feminist movements. Contributors engage critical themes such as power, patriarchy, class, and women’s rights, underscoring feminist conscientisation and collective resistance. As Tsikata (2014) notes, Pan-African education emphasizes unity and liberation, including for women. Feminist popular education seeks to undo marginalization and build a just world where African women are central. This issue affirms its vital role in confronting today’s crises and cultivating transformative, critical citizenries.
