By examining how different groups of women with access to German culture have depicted Africa, Africans, and the African diaspora, the book challenges the assumption that all women will tell the same story. Focusing on Black women, non-Black women of colour, and white women, it investigates how these diverse voices engage with and represent Blackness within a society shaped by racial hierarchies. \u003cbr\u003ePart I analyses how Black, German-speaking women actively reshape and redefine Blackness in response to stereotypes upheld by white German society. Part II explores how non-Black women of colour navigate the complexities of othering while sometimes reproducing anti-Black stereotypes, while Part III discusses how white women's projections of fantasies about Africa often erase Black voices and render them invisible. Offering a nuanced analysis of the intersections of race, gender, ethnicity, and nationality, \u003cem\u003eAfrika and Alemania\u003c\/em\u003e provides a vital framework for understanding Blackness within contemporary scholarship and its broader social and cultural implications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Priscilla Layne, Michelle Stott James, Lisabeth Hock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487560737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487560737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Priscilla Layne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838470869247,"sku":"9781487560737","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdffeab9-a164-46de-8162-249d1c8ea6ff.jpg?v=1746589933","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/afrika-and-alemania-priscilla-layne-9781487560737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
