Description 1 online resource (viii, 303 pages) : illustrations Summary In 1984 at the Free University of Berlin, the African American poet Audre Lorde asked her Black, German-speaking women students about their identities. The women revealed that they had no common term to describe themselves and had until then lacked a way to identify their shared interests and concerns. Out of Lorde's seminar emerged both the term "Afro-German" (or "Black German") and the 1986 publication of the volume that appeared in English translation as Showing Our Colors: Afro-German Women Speak Out. The book launched a movement that has since catalyzed activism and scholarship in Germany.-- Provided by Publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 283-287) and index Notes Print version record Subject African Americans -- Relations with Germans -- History African Americans -- Germany -- History Black people -- Race identity -- Germany -- History Black people -- Germany -- History HISTORY -- Europe -- Germany.
