With penetrating alacrity, African Feminist Praxis skillfully spans the continent to illuminate women's transformative agency spurred by structural gender injustice. Horn succinctly re-centers Black feminists into the global narrative of decolonial liberation praxis. This rich and multilayered book leaves no doubt about the power and epistemic labour of African feminists in shaping the course of history. -- Dr. Sylvia Tamale Jessica Horn's rendering of the complex landscapes of African feminist energies as archive, politico-legal recalibration, imaginative experiment and visionary life-worlds is a superlative offering. Written in love and fire, African Feminist Praxis is meticulous and visionary. -- Dr. Pumla Dineo Gqola
