Showcasing creative decolonial feminist and critical social justice scholarship, located in a South African context, this book works across modalities and disciplines, and within art and activism, to challenge hegemonic and oppressive forms of gender and sexuality. In the wake of decolonial activism in higher education and civil society since 2015 and the larger struggle for equality and justice, Shefer, Rustin, Boonzaier and their contributors draw primarily from the work of local research and pedagogical projects directed at alternative imaginaries of gender and sexual justice, with global import.

Increasingly scholars are engaging in collaborative, dialogical and creative work that foregrounds performance, art, music, crafts, literature, as well as embodied, affective and relational engagements in the making of knowledge. This book shares some of these diverse counter-hegemonic pedagogies and research approaches that bring an intersectional and decolonial feminist lens to contemporary efforts to decolonise higher education and larger civil society.

Producing lines of thought and sharing praxis that destabilises, disrupts and opens up new possibilities for justice scholarship, the book provides a space for going beyond critical reflexivity in research and practice related to gender and sexual inequalities. It seeks to make a scholarly intervention founded on rethinking its own grounds through collaborations with knowledges often deployed by those outside the authoritative, “expert” domains of academia, aligning it with feminist and decolonial aims. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of gender, sexuality and intersectionality, particularly those with a focus on the global South.
