The volume “Decolonize the City!” focuses on the everyday life of migrants and people of color and their struggles in the postcolonial city.<\/p>\n

“Decolonize the City! sees itself as a necessary intervention in the German-language debate on the ‘European city’. The authors call for an urban decolonization and, from a perspective critical of racism and solidarity, ask about the everyday life and struggles of postcolonial migrants and people of color in the city.”(Publisher’s book description<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Central to the project is the perspective of those who are produced as racialized, gendered, and sexualized ‘others’ and who understand themselves as such – or not. “Among other things, it is about political practices of location, self-designation in the German\/transnational context, or the relationship between the city and the location of racialized people and communities.” (Book description of the publisher<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The aim of the volume is, among other things, to contribute to a decolonizing production of knowledge and to expand the language archive in anti-racist struggles.<\/p>\n
