Weaving connections and approximations between African and Latin American feminisms

Abstract

This article aims to establish connections between Latin American and African Feminisms (focused on Mozambique) emerging from interviews and theoretical references about encouters, disagreements, approximations, and distancing within the field of activism, gender, and feminist studies in the territories of Africa/Mozambique and Latin America/Brazil from a decolonial perspective and narratives that criticize hegemonic feminism, both academic and activist. Thus, we seek to bring the levels of knowledge circulation between the two continents emerging from cultural exchanges in globalization, dialogues, and experiences of people who have been in both worlds, the influences of these inter-relations for articulating global feminisms from connections between epistemic resistances and the struggle for rights in the South-South.
