In My Sister's House is the first book in the upcoming new series of original chapters by Black Canadian women and about Black Canadian women, taking up different, but interrelated topics. The book gathers new theorization by and about Black women in Canada across a number of topics where Black women's scholarship remains underrepresented.In this volume, scholars such as Njoki Wane, rosalind hampton, and Natasha Henry explore theories and application of Black feminism locating them squarely within the Canadian context and offering insights into how Black Canadian feminist praxis expands our thinking within this locale and globally. It is one of the only collected works to focus on Black women's scholarship in Canada on the question of Black Canadian visions of feminist theory and praxis.

And Sometimes There Are Tears is the second book in the innovative new series In Words of Our Own: Black Women and Being, by and about Black Canadian women that centres Black feminist perspectives. This engaging text explores Black women's journeys toward well-being, healing, and collective liberation, while also challenging narrow Eurocentric and individualistic definitions of wellness that routinely overlook Black women's lived realities, particularly within Canadian contexts shaped by systemic anti-Black racism and sexism.Through interdisciplinary and multi-genre contributions, including academic research, personal narratives, poetry, and dialogue, the contributing scholars explore how wellness is shaped by experiences such as misogynoir, internalized anti-Blackness, the "Strong Black Woman" archetype, and inequities within the health and social systems. Rather than treating well-being as a fixed or purely clinical outcome, this collection presents it as a dynamic, relational process rooted in history, embodiment, and community.And Sometimes There Are Tears reimagines healing as a form of political resistance. Contributors foreground spiritual practice, ancestral connection, storytelling, and community care as essential strategies for surviving and flourishing within Black spaces. By honouring diverse ways of knowing and refusing rigid boundaries between academic and creative work, this powerful and deeply reflective text offers students and scholars a powerful framework for understanding wellness as inseparable from justice, care, and collective action.

Toil and Laughter is the third book in the innovative series In Words of Our Own: Black Women and Being, by and about Black Canadian women that centres Black feminist perspectives. This vital text examines the long legacy of Black women's work, exploring how anti-Black racism, patriarchal systems, and systemic inequities shape the experiences of Black families, communities, students, and educators. By situating Black women's labour as both political and transformative, this text illuminates the histories, lived realities, and mobilizations of Black women navigating complex educational, workplace, and social systems.Through thirteen interdisciplinary and multi-genre chapters, Toil and Laughter reimagines work as a site of resistance and creative possibility. This collection highlights how Black women's labour is often perceived as invisible or hyper-visible depending on social convenience, while also demonstrating how Black women respond to systemic injustice through practices such as othermothering, educational advocacy, and community organizing. Rather than presenting labour as a neutral activity, this collection frames work as relational, historically grounded, and inseparable from collective struggle and liberation.Contributors centre Black feminist perspectives, storytelling, and collective mobilizations as strategies for challenging systemic oppression and imagining new futures for Black women and their communities. By bridging academic analysis with lived experience, this text offers students and scholars in Black Studies, Gender and Women's Studies, Diaspora Studies, Critical Race Studies, and Labour Studies a critical framework for understanding Black women's labour as central to justice, care, and collective empowerment.

Among the rural Embu people of Eastern Kenya, teaching and learning are not purely institutional activities. Instead, knowledge is passed from generation to generation alongside the most mundane activities. In Indigenous African Knowledge Production, Njoki Nathani Wane uses food-processing practices – preparing, preserving, cooking, and serving – as an entry point into the indigenous knowledge of the Embu and the role that rural Embu women play in creating and transmitting it.Using personal narratives collected during several years of field research in Kenya, Wane demonstrates how Embu women use proverbs, fables, and folktales to preserve and communicate their world-view, knowledge, and cultural norms. She shows how this process preserves Indigenous knowledge devalued by the colonial and post-colonial educational systems, as well as the gendered dimension of the transmission process.Wane’s book will be useful not just to those studying development and education in Africa, but also to all those interested in questions of how to preserve and recover local cultural knowledge.

This multidisciplinary collection probes ways in which emerging and established scholars perceive and theorize decolonization and resistance in their own fields of work, from education to political and social studies, to psychology, medicine, and beyond. In this time of renewed global spiritual awakening, indigenous communities are revisiting ways of knowing and evoking theories of resistance informed by communal theories of solidarity. Using an intersectional lens, chapter authors present or imagine modes of solidarity, resistance, and political action that subvert colonial and neocolonial formations. Placing emphasis on the importance of theorizing the spirit, a discourse that is deeply embedded in our unique cultures and ancestries, this book is able to capture and better understand these moments and processes of spiritual emergence/re-emergence.

This volume explores the importance of inter-generational oral culture and stories that transcend time, space, and boundaries transmitted historically from one generation to the next through proverbs, idioms, and folklore tales in different geographical and spatial contexts. These important stories and their embedded life lessons are introduced, explained, and supplemented with pre and post educational activities and lesson plans to be used as learning resources. The centering of orality as a tool and medium for educating the future generation is a reclamation and reaffirmation of Indigeneity, Indigenous knowledges. and non-hegemonic approaches to support students in a socio-culturally sustaining manner. Through this understanding, this book explores the interconnectedness between culture, traditions, language, and way of life through oral storytelling, sharing, and listening.

In the last two decades, we have witnessed the quest for decolonization; through research, writing, teaching, and curriculum across the globe. Calls to decolonize higher education have been overwhelming in recent year. However, the goal of decolonizing has evolved past not only the need to dismantle colonial empires but all imperial structures. Today, decolonization is deemed a basis for restorative justice under the lens of the psychological, economic, and cultural spectrum. In this book, the editor and her authors confront various dimensions of decolonizing work, structural, epistemic, personal, and relational, which are entangled and equally necessary. This book illuminates other sites and dimensions of decolonizing not only from Africa but also other areas. This convergence of critical scholarship, theoretical inquiry, and empirical research is committed to questioning and redressing inequality in contemporary history and other African studies. It signals one of many steps in a bid to consultatively examine how knowledge and power have been both defined and subsequently denied through the sphere of academic practice.
