| Summary: | The contribution analyzes Afropean sororities, not as landlocked territories or segregated reflections, but rather as spaces of political solidarity, aiming for a quest and a (re)conquest of oneself from the margins, In this regard, the intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989) inscribed in this work gives rise to a favorable theoretical framework, articulated to the notion of empowerment from an afrofeminist perspective. Empowerment—empowerment and/or power to act—is thus understood as a tool for socio-political liberation. Along the way, systemic inequalities are questioned ipso facto in order to think up a series of anti-capitalist, anti-sexist and anti-racist actions, with a collective aim, in a committed intersectoral dialogue. My contention is based a corpus composed of three manifestos published rather recently, namely, Plantation Memories: Episodes of Everyday Racism (Kilomba, 2012) [published in French version in 2021 under the title Mémoires de la plantation. Épisodes de racisme ordinaire], Noire n’est pas mon métier (Maïga et al, 2018) and Black Mariannes (2016), a documentary film by Mame-Fatou Niang and Kaytie Nielsen. By virtue of their prescriptive (object of discourse), performative (place of enunciation) and didactic (targeted/achieved objectives) function, it is clear that these manifestos aim to include Afropean women in the respective public spaces, from a reappropriation of the discourse, out of the reductive clichés. Moreover, the axis of my contribution not being only an object of study devoid of a specific stance, which may be summed up as “train, inform (to) transform” is part of the celebration of the March 8, 2022. |
