This thesis aims to explore the activism of first generation Somali Canadian Women (FGSCWA). It specifically asks 1) how do Somali women activists engage, contest and modify existing social relations within their community and mainstream society to foster anti-racist, anti-Islamaphobic feminist spaces; 2) in what ways does their activism challenge the systematic racism and Islamaphobia that is explicitly and implicitly imbedded in Canadian institutions and social relations and; 3) how has their activism and advocacy challenged the normative discourse of neoliberal multiculturalism, while simultaneously contesting gender norms and cultural dogma within the Somali community. This study combines two theoretical approaches to understand issues of citizenship, boundaries of Blackness and Muslim identity, power, representation and knowledge production in relation to Somali women activists. Working within a post-colonial and Black feminist framework, this research paper utilizes the in-depth interviews I conducted with eight Somali women activists, narrating their perspectives and lived experiences.
