This chapter speaks to dialogues that commenced in the first Africana Womanism conference held in October 2010 at the University of Zimbabwe. At that conference, we shared challenging thoughts, while putting forth a strong sense of urgency, prioritizing race, class and gender in addressing critical daily issues confronting global Africana people. And, I trust we will continue in this vein for the progress of our families. In a 1997 Western Journal of Black Studies (WJBS) article, I stated that: “We need our own Africana theorists, not scholars who duplicate or use theories created by others in analyzing Africana texts” and, by extension, Africana ideas and activities (Hudson-Weems, “Africana Womanism and the Critical Need” 79). Thus, naming and defining ourselves is essential in exploring possibilities and solutions for ultimate Social Justice for Africana people worldwide!

摘要

This chapter speaks to dialogues that commenced in the first Africana Womanism conference held in October 2010 at the University of Zimbabwe. At that conference, we shared challenging thoughts, while putting forth a strong sense of urgency, prioritizing race, class and gender in addressing critical daily issues confronting global Africana people. And, I trust we will continue in this vein for the progress of our families. In a 1997 Western Journal of Black Studies (WJBS) article, I stated that: “We need our own Africana theorists, not scholars who duplicate or use theories created by others in analyzing Africana texts” and, by extension, Africana ideas and activities (Hudson-Weems, “Africana Womanism and the Critical Need” 79). Thus, naming and defining ourselves is essential in exploring possibilities and solutions for ultimate Social Justice for Africana people worldwide!
