Abstract
The text is part of the epistemological works that value African thought. It aims to test the power of Amadiume's matriarchy concept to think about contemporary African realities. African matriarchy is seen here as an ideology built by African women since the pre-colonial period and which aims to structure, in an autonomous way, their organizations in all life plans. It is critical of the rigid notion of gender proposed by Euro-Western-American feminism and is against patriarchy, which manifests itself through toxic masculinity, which denies the dignity of women. The previous productions by the author of this text on the UNILAB African Women's Collective and the Movement of Rape Survivors and Sexual Violence in the DRC, revisited to achieve the objective of this work, revealed the plausibility of the concept in question in understanding the ways in which African women articulate, locally and transnationally, in the Brazilian diaspora and on the African continent, in academia and in civil society to demand recognition of their rights.

Amadiume para pensar as realidades africanas contemporâneas
Esse repensar os estudos de gênero do paradigma do feminismo euro-ocidental leva Oyewumi e Amadiume, no contexto de pesquisas construídas por mulheres negras, africanas e afrodiaspóricas, a sugerir para se trabalhar de forma intersecional considerando, conforme os contextos, outras variáveis como classe, raça, etnia e idade, na investigação
Summary
Resumo: O texto faz parte dos trabalhos epistemológicos que valorizam o pensamento africano. Tem por objetivo testar a potência do conceito matriarcado de Amadiume para pensar as realidades africanas contemporâneas. O matriarcado africano é visto aqui como uma ideologia construída por mulheres africanas desde o período pré-colonial e que visa estruturar, de forma autônoma, suas organizações em todos planos de vida. As produções anteriores do autor desse texto sobre o Coletivo das Mulheres Africanas da UNILAB e o Movimento das/os Sobreviventes dos Estupros e Violências Sexuais na RDC, revisitados para alcançar o objetivo desse trabalho, revelaram a plausibilidade do conceito em pauta em compreender as formas como mulheres africanas articulam-se, local e transnacionalmente, na diáspora brasileira e no continente africano, na academia e na sociedade civil para exigir o reconhecimento de seus direitos.
