I am a South Korean researcher interested in the academic study of ecofeminism in African theologians. I understand that the study of African feminism is different from the feminism of white women in the West, and that it is sometimes referred to as 'womanism'. Don't those who do ecofeminist theological research in Africa call it 'ecowomanism'? I haven't seen anyone other than Harris, Melanie L. use that word to refer to their work. I have seen the keyword 'ecofeminism in Africa' occasionally. I'd like to know the difference between the concepts.
I have the sense that womanism is the first wave of reaction to feminism, including race and social class. Ecowomanism is the third wave of womanism, including spirituality and ethics.
