In the 1980s and 1990s, Black German women began to play
significant roles in challenging the discrimination in their own
nation and abroad. Their grassroots organizing, writings, and
political and cultural activities nurtured innovative traditions,
ideas, and practices. These strategies facilitated new, often
radical bonds between people from disparate backgrounds across the
Black Diaspora. Tiffany N. Florvil examines the role of queer and
straight women in shaping the contours of the modern Black German
movement as part of the Black internationalist opposition to racial
and gender oppression. Florvil shows the multifaceted contributions
of women to movement making, including Audre Lorde’s role in
influencing their activism; the activists who inspired Afro-German
women to curate their own identities and histories; and the
evolution of the activist groups Initiative of Black Germans and
Afro-German Women. These practices and strategies became a rallying
point for isolated and marginalized women (and men) and shaped the
roots of contemporary Black German activism. Richly researched and
multidimensional in scope, Mobilizing Black Germany offers a rare
in-depth look at the emergence of the modern Black German movement
and Black feminists’ politics, intellectualism, and
internationalism.
