Abstract
This paper explores the liberatory impact of African/African diasporan women’s transnational activism across time and space and in its multiple forms and expressions. Despite a radical tradition of autonomous linkages across national, ethnic, and continental borders, the transformational power of African women’s global resistance to oppression often “slips through the cracks” in the narratives of pan-African, anti-imperialist, and global women’s activism. This study emphasizes excavating and integrating lessons from the multiple centers of African women’s organizing across borders.
