"I begin with myself; what have my own travels, within Africa and around the world taught me about how I am seen, and how I see myself?of what significance is this knowledge, and what bearing does it have on the way I conduct myself, inside and outside the classroom, as a "Black African Woman"? Furthermore as one of a community of African women living and working in our respective countries on the continent as well as in the West, what differences has our contribution made to debates on feminism? What recognition have our theories and our practices been given?? Abena P.A. Busia
