Françoise Vergès

About the author

Born in Paris on 23 January 1952, Françoise Vergès is a French political scientist, historian, film producer, independent curator, activist, and public educator whose work sits at the intersection of postcolonial studies and decolonial feminism. Her book A Decolonial Feminism, translated into English in 2021 by Ashley J. Bohrer alongside Vergès herself, was supported by an English PEN Translates award — a recognition that underscores her reach beyond French-language discourse.
