Colonial perspectives and actions continue in Germany and are expressed in all areas of society. Black perspectives, among others, thus find little access to knowledge archives and are misappropriated in media, political, and academic discourses. An apparently objective order of the German knowledge (science) system is thus preserved.
The volume Afrokultur by Natasha Kelly “brings Black German history, its present and future into a global context through the biographies of Black scholars and activists W.E.B. Du Bois, Audre Lorde, and May Ayim, thus continuing an intellectual tradition.” Book description of the publisher
Afroculture separates itself from racialized assumptions, acknowledges Black knowledge, and connects it to the communication of Black scholars and activists. See the book description
