April 15: Black and Female by Tsitsi Dangarembga

We will read Black and Female, a set of anti-colonial and feminist essays by Zimbabwean writer Tsitsi Dangarembga. This selection is part of our Transformative Futures series where we learn together and tackle new, important ideas. In Black and Female, Tsitsi Dangarembga examines the legacy of imperialism on her own life and on every aspect of black embodied African life. This paradigm-shifting essay collection weaves the personal and political in an illuminating exploration of race and gender.
