Abstract
In their editorial to a special issue on Anticolonial Feminist Imaginaries published by the Beirut-based journal Kohl, Aline Sajed and Sara Salem invite us to look at the imaginaries that entertain gendered mobilizations and anti-colonial struggles. Looking at the freedom dreams women have dreamt and still dream while in the space of the colony, where issues of race, ethnicity, class and gender always intersect and the Empire appears in its most violent form, will expand our understanding of what is necessary for colonized people and what is possible, while also decolonizing desire. Sajed and Salem further suggest that studying anticolonial struggles from a women’s point of view will “shift the frame of what justice, freedom, care, and hope look and feel like,” and ask, “how women’s reimagining of concepts such as freedom, sovereignty, community, care, sexuality, socialism, and more, tell different histories of anti-colonialism?”
