Introducing and engaging with womanist frameworks to center the lives of Global South women who live under colonial oppressions, this collection centers the consciousness, spirituality, philosophy, wisdom, community institutions, and ecologies found in a variety of Global South regions and diasporas.

Diasporic Womanist Sociology offers a decolonial approach to critical research, interpretive frameworks, pedagogy, mentorship, activism, and building academia-community collectives of solidarity, presenting womanism as a practical framework for personal and professional development for sociologists and scholars in other fields. With contributors from South Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and North America, this book draws on tenets of womanism to shape their practice and engagement with students, scholars, and activists, especially those of the Global South and its diasporas.

This volume makes critical contributions to fields ranging from Gender and Women Studies, Race and Ethnic Studies, and Decolonial and Postcolonial Theory, and can be assigned to undergraduate and graduate students to explore the foundational work of Black Feminism and gender non-conforming people of color and an inclusive framework of identity, spirituality, and pursuit of social justice.
