Conversational Bridges in African Feminisms: Weaving Knowledge Together
Edited by: Polo B. Moji, Kharnita Mohamed and Aika Swai
Affirming dialogue as a mode of knowledge production across identity positions and generational differences, Conversational Bridges in African Feminisms: Weaving Knowledge Together highlights the power of this method in building and sustaining African feminist communities.
The conversations explore diverse terrain: from critical discussions on current geopolitics and its influence on women, to sexuality, class, and power struggles globally, and responses needed to address the scourge of gender-based violence. By centralising the power of dialogue among feminist scholars, activists and artists, the collection shows how African feminists theorise their lived experiences, thereby building communities of activism, of care and of solidarity.
This is a groundbreaking collection that stemmed from the African Feminist Conference held in South Africa in 2021. It is an important collection for African feminists globally to engage in current debates and conversations.

New African Thinkers: Considering Peace and Development in Africa
Edited by Rodney Managa, Check Achu and Vuyo Mjimba
Considering Peace and Development in Africa features contributions from emerging and mid-career scholars and is divided into two parts. The first part explores foundational elements necessary for lasting peace and stability, addressing issues such as coups d’état, terrorism, and the importance of trust between citizens and law enforcement.
The second part shifts focus to economic and social advancement, highlighting grassroots leadership, the African Continental Free Trade Area, sustainable food systems, and the role of technology. This fascinating book offers valuable insights and practical strategies aimed at fostering a more peaceful and prosperous Africa. It is an essential resource for scholars, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, students, and general readers interested in understanding the complexities of peace and development across the continent.
This comprehensive volume stems from the Africa Young Graduate Scholars Conference held in 2023 with the theme ‘Assessing the first 10-year implementation plan of Agenda 2063’. Organised annually by the HSRC’s Africa Institute of South Africa, the conference serves as a capacity-building platform, enabling emerging scholars to produce and share research-based knowledge on Africa’s development challenges and to publish and disseminate their research findings.
