DESCRIPTION:Black women played an active role in decolonization in the fra
 ncophone world. However\, their voices remain muted in historical narrativ
 es of twentieth-century anticolonial movements. This elision of their poli
 tical and intellectual contributions results in at best a partial understa
 nding of notions of belonging in the French-speaking world and limits the 
 terrain of possibilities for imagining more inclusive forms of political a
 ffiliation and participation. Texts such as Aoua Kéita’s autobiography 
 and Ousmane Sembène’s film Emitaï\, emphasize the contributions of rur
 al African who were often at the forefront of anticolonial struggle in Wes
 t Africa. Through strategies of collective resistance that hinged primaril
 y on subversive mobility\, they worked to reverse colonial dispossession o
 f land and the erasure of black women’s historical contributions to publ
 ic politics.\n\nPlease refer to our website for further information www.af
