Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992

Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 explores a little-known chapter of the writers prolific life, a period in which she helped ignite the Afro-German Movement and made lasting contributions to the German political and cultural scene before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the German reunification. Lorde mentored and encouraged Black German women to write and publish as a way of asserting their identities, rights and culture in a society that isolated and silenced them, while challenging white German women to acknowledge their white privilege. As Lorde wrote in her book Our Dead Behind Us: PoemsIt is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.
