JALA joins Taylor & Francis journals in mourning the passing of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o: a giant of African literary production, leading intellectual on African languages and decolonisation, and influential dissident. A clutch of excellent open access articles: tandfonline.com/journals/cjac2…

The article develops this argument by bringing Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s feminist position into conversation with the feminist visions of pioneering African scholars of feminism such as Molara Ogundipe-Leslie, Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo, Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi, and Mary Kolawole.

While pioneering African theorists of feminism sought epistemic freedom within the framework of nationalism, the third generation do so outside of this framework.

"Food, Migration, and Place Consciousness in Chika Unigwe’s Better Never than Late" by Idom T. Inyabri & Elizabeth Olaoye: @chikaunigwe @JournalAfLit tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

It takes into account existing systems of domination to show, and throw into relief, environmental problems through the prism of an imposed colonial economy that lives on today and still holds hostage large regions of the Congo.

This article examines the representation of water in Congo Inc., the values attributed to it, and the related questions this resource raises in a globalized world. The analysis is grounded in the theory of decolonial ecology developed by Malcolm Ferdinand.
