In Germany today, "minoritized" authors are staging literary interventions that foreground the complexity and radical diversity of German identities. They are reconceiving, redefining, and rewriting understandings of "Germanness" by centering previously marginalized perspectives and challenging fixed frames of nationality, ethnicity, language, sexuality, and even time and space. In so doing, they are opening new ways of conceiving of self and other, individual and collective, and thus envisioning a community that does justice to the range of lived experiences in Germany. Drawing on frameworks of intersectionality, postmigration, critical race and whiteness studies, and gender and queer theory, this volume investigates various literary means and media employed by Black, (post)migrant, Jewish, and queer writers, most of them women, to engage creatively with questions of hegemonic culture, integration, and belonging, exposing the exclusionary if not violent practices that these entail. The volume showcases cutting-edge scholarship by established and early career researchers, and is innovative in format: essays treating works by authors such as Fatma Aydemir, Shida Bazyar, Asal Dardan, Sharon Dodua Otoo, Antje Rávik Strubel, Noah Sow, Jackie Thomae, and Olivia Wenzel, along with original interviews with Stefanie-Lahya Aukongo, Özlem Özgül Dündar, Sasha Marianna Salzmann, and Mithu Sanyal illustrate the plurality, agency, and increasing resonance of these literary figures and their works.
