JENAN RILEY, Emily. “Doing politics”: The women shaking up Senegalese politics. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2024, vol.86, n.3, pp.749-776.  Epub 09-Ago-2024. ISSN 2594-0651.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iis.01882503p.2024.3.62617.

In Senegal, women’s political praxis is specifically expressed through their wide social and religious networks, profoundly embedded with social representations of femininity, generosity, and hospitality, commonly referred to as the Wolof concept of teraanga. By way of ethnographic inquiry, this article analyzes the political processes of two women who demonstrate the postcolonial dualities of the art of governing the city: Via republican colonial inheritance, and by a teraanga republic, that is, a space in which the praxis of many political women translates the personal to the political.

Palabras llave : teraanga; women; politics; postcolonial; Senegal; republic.
