"Rethinking Black German Studies certainly pushes the envelope in
Afro-German Studies. Its contributors travel the paths less
traveled in the vast field of Afro-European studies, thus boldly
enriching it by presenting salient, new, provocative, and topical
material." (Marilyn Sephocle (Monatshefte 113.1, Spring 2021) Black
German Studies is an interdisciplinary field that has experienced
significant growth over the past three decades, integrating
subjects such as gender studies, diaspora studies, history, and
media and performance studies. The field's contextual roots as well
as historical backdrop, nevertheless, span centuries. This volume
assesses where the field is now by exploring the nuances of how the
past - colonial, Weimar, National Socialist, post- 1945, and
post-Wende - informs the present and future of Black German
Studies; how present generations of Black Germans look to those of
the past for direction and empowerment; how discourses shift due to
the diversification of power structures and the questioning of
identity-based categories; and how Black Germans affirm their
agency and cultural identity through cultural productions that
engender both counter-discourses and counter-narratives. Examining
Black German Studies as a critical, hermeneutic field of inquiry,
the contributions are organized around three thematically
conceptualized sections: German and Austrian literature and
history; pedagogy and theory; and art and performance. Presenting
critical works in the fields of performance studies, communication
and rhetoric, and musicology, the volume complicates traditional
historical narratives, interrogates interdisciplinary methods, and
introduces theoretical approaches that help to advance the field.
