Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's and Gender Studies

http://web.cortland.edu/wagadu/

Publisher: Wagadu

Wagadu--the Soninke name of the Ghana Empire--controlled the present-day
Mali, Mauritania and Senegal and was famous for its prosperity and power
from approximately 300-1076. It constituted the bridge between North Africa,
the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern worlds and Subsaharan Africa.

Why Wagadu? Wagadu has come to be the symbol of the sacrifice women continue
to make for a better world. Wagadu has become the metaphor for the role of
women in the family, community, country, and planet.

The editors of Wagadu invite feminist, interdisciplinary, progressive
perspectives situated on the interstices of Critical Race Studies and Gender
Studies. The journal's agenda focuses on transnational and transcultural
issues, and authors are invited to reflect these concerns.

Wagadu will publish material on postcolonial resistance in theory and
practice that includes race, gender, and economic perspectives. Wagadu will
serve as a medium of exchange and information and will be a network for
scholars and activists.
