In this podcast episode, author and activist Natasha A. Kelly presents her book Black Feminism and discusses its foundations. The conversation with presenter Barbara Streidl locates black feminism historically (referring to Sojourner Truth, Frances Beale, Audre Lorde) and addresses its central category of intersectionality. Kelly explains the experience of multiple discrimination and practices critical distance from white, mainstream feminism in Germany, which she accuses of not sufficiently addressing racism. The discussion also reflects on the possibilities and limitations of alliances between black and white feminists and raises the personal question of who can be a ‘sister’ in the fight.
