Indigeneity and 'authenticity' in African trans* activism

Katlego Kolanyane-Kesupile et al.

Summary: Efforts to promote gender equity in sub-Saharan Africa are often based on a Western heteronormative framework inherited from colonialism, focusing on 'balancing' gender rather than deconstructing it. Dismantling this entrenched binary is a challenging task, as it has become widely accepted as 'authentically' African, while African trans* activism is seen as foreign despite being theoretically sophisticated and deeply committed.

Gender performativity in rural northern Ghana: implications for transnational feminist theorising

Constance Awinpoka Akurugu

Summary: This article draws on theories of gender performativity and postcolonial African feminisms to explore femininities in the rural context of northern Ghana. Through participant observation fieldwork among the Dagaaba community, the author demonstrates a resonance between performativity theories of gender and Dagaaba constructions of gender identities and power relations. By focusing on heteronormative marriage practices, the article diverges from Butlerian theories of gender performativity to participate in acts of cultural translation between Western and West African settings.
