"Neither an outgrowth nor an addendum to feminism, Africana Womanism is
not Black feminism, African feminism, or [Alice] Walker's womanism that
some Africana women have come to embrace. Africana Womanism is an
ideology created and designed for all women of African descent. It is
grounded in African culture, and therefore, it necessarily focuses on
the unique experiences, struggles, needs, and desires of Africana
women. It critically addresses the dynamics of the conflict between
the mainstream feminist, the Black feminist, the African feminist and
the Africana womanist. The conclusion is that Africana Womanism and
its agenda are unique and separte from both White feminism and Black
feminism, and moreover, to the extent of naming in particular, Africana
Womanism differs from African feminism....Clearly there is a need for a
separate and distinct identity for the Africana woman and her movement."
