AWA (La revue de la femme noire) short lived 20th Century Senegalese journal magazine founded by Annette Mbaye d’Erneville. A pioneer in promoting Afro-feminism in midcentury West Africa, its first issue published in 1964 and its final issue published in May 1973. It was published monthly and with a voluntary production, printed at Abdoulaye Diop’s printing press, the first private printing press in Senegal. The journals more radical subversive connotations are contained within it’s role in the decolonial milieu of both Senegal’s political climate under Léopold Sédar Senghor and within the contextualization of Tropical Marxist Afro-feminism as part of the lineage of past and present anti-colonial imaginary. Founder Annette Mbaye d’Erneville was a formidable Senegalese decolonial cultural figure prior to her establishing the publication, a poet, journalist and eventually becoming the Director of Programs at Radio Senegal in the 1960’s.
