Resumen

NKEALAH, Naomi. Being Human in a Time of Catastrophe: African Feminism, Feminist Humaneness, and the Poetry of Joyce Ash. JLS [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.1, pp.1-17. ISSN 1753-5387.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25159/1753-5387/10416.

This article explores what it means to be human in a time of health catastrophe, and introduces the concept of feminist humaneness. Feminist humaneness is an offshoot of African feminism and is about women practicalising their feminism by expressing kindness, care, compassion, empathy and consideration for other women in times of sickness, disease, pandemics and other health catastrophes. The article establishes connections between being feminist and being humane using the poetry of Cameroonian writer Joyce Ash. Ash's poetry constructs feminist humaneness as a socially responsive and practical feminism that fosters human relationships.

Palabras clave : African feminism; feminist humaneness; pandemics; women's poetry.
