NEW BOOK AMPLIFIES THE EXPERIENCES OF BLACK INTELLECTUALS INFLUENCED BY THEIR VISIT TO GERMANY

In 1986, Farbe bekennen: Afro-deutsche Frauen auf den Spuren ihrer Geschichte became the first book published by Black Germans. Thirty years after the English translation, Showing Our Colors: Afro-German Women Speak Out, was published – the same year Black lesbian mother warrior poet Audre Lorde took her last breath – Dr. Heidi R. Lewis and Dana Maria Asbury honor this legacy with their new book In Audre’s Footsteps: Transnational Kitchen Table Talk (edition assemblage, 2021).
