Abstract The project to define a specific Caribbean feminism as different from the Western bourgeois European-American model was consistently a central concern for Caribbean feminists, from the 1980s inceptions that marked the start of CAFRA—the Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Activism—of which Rhoda Reddock was founding president, and continuing into the present. Reddock has been at the forefront of defining that Caribbean feminism in both activist and intellectual contexts. Her work has revealed that Caribbean feminism has always been anticolonial, regional, and diasporic, with a clear sense of how race, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality combine. Her work provides a variety of pathways to situate women's activism and scholarship within larger histories, movements, and contexts of Caribbean struggles for full emancipation.
