The black feminist thought and the complexity of the issues it raises require a rereading of some black African authors of the third wave, as Speak out, Black Sisters : Feminism and Oppression in Black Africa by Senegalese anthropologist Awa Thiam, a pioneering work of African Black feminism. This essay shows the importance of African women speaking out in order to make the realities of their experiences heard and detect their woes. By inciting her African sisters to be aware of their condition, the author lifts the ban and expresses her feminism that she places in the African context and which is largely influenced by Black feminism. Published in 1978, Speak out, Black Sisters generates new ideas and opens up prospects for black women’s liberation. It asks key questions about the future of feminism in Africa while its retro-reading revisits the African and global context of its publication, as well as other African feminist and black American texts.
