ABSTRACT

This article conceptualizes a Black feminist agrarian ideology as a rematriation praxis inherent to Black agrarianism where political identity, lived experience and ancestral memory cultivate the agrarian cosmological and axiological frames of liberation through, on and with land. It argues for a more explicit gendered analysis of Black womxn’s agrarianism in the US while (re)centering the rematriation process, explicit to some and implicit to others, within Black agrarian ethics. With the hopes of charting a course for needed theoretical and empirical work, I situate Black feminist agrarian ideologies within third world and decolonial feminisms and I conclude with a final offering of moving towards Black feminist agrarian ideologies as a rematriation back to the wombs of the world where we can more readily engage in dialectical coalition building and renewing cultural kinships with the land and her stewards.
