A world renowned author once described "a migrant's vision" in terms of a "triple disruption," one that occurs when migrants lose their place in the world, enter into a language that is alien to them, and find themselves "surrounded by beings whose social behavior and codes are very unlike, and sometimes even offensive to," their own. The author in question—let's call him X—then proceeds to explain how the creative work of a lesser known author—let's call him Y—is informed by such "a migrant's vision."

Promising both a national history (of the Federal Republic) and a particular one (of the "mixed race" protagonist), Afra filters both through a textual economy of black-and-white symbolism that alternately foregrounds and backgrounds the "visibility" of different levels of historical experience. By examining competing functions of racialized discourse in the novel, this essay probes the relationship between Afra's story and the national one in which it is made to assume representational status. Not a literary rendition of an Afro-German sociological reality, Demski's text nonetheless invokes a kind of social discourse that does have some bearing on the Afro-German project of self-definition in the 1990s as well as our disciplinary obligation to respond to it.

Cultural Studies have been preoccupied with questions of national identity and cultural representations. At the same time, feminist studies have insisted upon the entanglement of gender with issues of nation, class, and ethnicity. Developments in the wake of German unification demand a reassessment of the nexus of gender, Germanness and nationhood. The contributors to this volume pursue these strands of the cultural debate in German history, literature, visual arts, and language over a period of three hundred years in sections devoted to History and the Canon, Visual Culture, Germany and Her "Others," and Language and Power.
