Kritik
«Afropolitan Encounters: Literature and Activism in London and Berlin offers important scholarly insights in a local and global context that continues to confront the violence of ethnonationalism and biological essentialism, despite the efforts of scholars, artists and activists to exercise creative and political agency. Anna von Rath amplifies thinkers and creators who assert Afropolitanism as a refusal to be located, fixed and contained.» (Adam Haupt, Professor and Director, Centre for Film & Media Studies, University of Cape Town)mehr
