Zimbabwean social media has been awash with images of a woman
character, spirit, or concept called Chihera. Traditionally, a
woman descending from the Mhofu (Eland) lineage/totem is known as
Chihera. In the cumulative tradition of the Shona (a Zimbabwean
ethnic group), Chihera is a fiercely independent, assertive, free
spirited, and no nonsense woman. This volume seeks to deepen
reflections on the Chihera phenomenon in the context of the search
for gender justice in Zimbabwe and Africa. The authors reflect on
how this radical indigenous feminist ethic circulating on social
media can animate the quest for Zimbabwean and African women's full
liberation from patriarchy and all oppressive forces. They grapple
with the issue of generating culturally sensitive theories and
approaches to galvanize the struggle for African women's liberation
in post-colonial settings. Second, they locate the Chihera mystique
in the context of the practical struggle for women's empowerment.
Third, the volume illustrates how the Chihera phenomenon could be
utilized for gender justice in Zimbabwe and beyond.
