Afrika and Alemania: German-Speaking Women, Africa, and the African Diaspora


Add your own review!

Overview

Afrika and Alemania explores the representation of Blackness in German-speaking literary, autobiographical, and cinematic texts across two centuries. By examining how different groups of women with access to German culture have depicted Africa, Africans, and the African diaspora, the book challenges the assumption that all women will tell the same story. Focusing on Black women, non-Black women of colour, and white women, it investigates how these diverse voices engage with and represent Blackness within a society shaped by racial hierarchies. provides a vital framework for understanding Blackness within contemporary scholarship and its broader social and cultural implications.
