Critical scholarship on urban development and displacement has a long history in geography. Yet one emergent driver remains strikingly understudied and poorly understood: global retail capital (GRC). This essay engages feminist postcolonial approaches, grounded in African continental feminist work, to theorize from the urban transformations, displacements, and resistances driven by GRC and emerging in urban East Africa. This framework engages an intersectional understanding of capitalism, and its work driving urban displacement, as always co‐produced through gender, racial, colonial, heteronormative, nationalist, and other power‐geometries. We assert that feminist postcolonial geography helps us imagine other urban futures, within and beyond Africa: critical of colonial past‐presents; free of the modernizing imperatives of normative urban planning; and that recognize the work and insights—intellectual and material—of African women.

全球零售资本和城市未来：女性主义的后殖民观点

关于城市发展和流离失所的批判性奖学金在地理上具有悠久的历史。然而，一个新兴的驱动力仍然是未被充分研究和理解的：全球零售资本（GRC）。本文以非洲大陆的女权主义工作为基础，运用女权主义的后殖民主义方法，从GRC推动下并在东非城市中崛起的城市转型，流离失所和抵抗中得出理论。这个框架对资本主义及其推动城市流离失所的工作有交叉的理解，就像通过性别，种族，殖民地，异规范，民族主义和其他权力几何结构共同产生的那样。我们断言，女权主义的后殖民地理有助于我们想象非洲内外的其他城市未来：对殖民时代过去的批评；没有规范的城市规划的现代化要求；
