In their literary works, African diasporic women articulate how the lived experience and subjugated status of women of African descent within local and global contexts are shaped by colonial and patriarchal networks of power. Using Black feminism as the overarching theory, »Woman, African, Other« unpacks how interlocking (lethal) structures of white supremacy, slavery, colonialism, cultural patriarchy, misogynoir, as well as modified structures of neocolonialism, neoliberalism, racialized capitalism, Western humanitarianism, and postcolonial nation-state laws and narratives, impact the gendered experiences of women of African heritage and permit our continued humiliation in the global sphere.

»I believe the most important asset of the project is that it theorizes the many entangled layers of oppression African and Black women face and struggle with in our modernized global world and peels them off one by one in its astute analysis of them in socio-pathological conditions for African and Black women and their layered representations in the selcted novels.«
