ABSTRACT

This chapter locates Dr. Anna Julia Cooper as a representative intersectional voice of resistance within early Pan-Africanism. Its aim is to contribute the voice of this nineteenth-century Black woman as a prescient one that challenged the notion of race by arguing that it must be confronted through intersecting international lenses of the gender, race, and class struggles. Hence, Cooper deserves to be foregrounded in Pan-Africanism alongside W.E.B. Du Bois as one of the inaugural voices in the movements of African diaspora resistance.
