Winterzeit
In the course of the women’s movement of the 1980s, the second wave of the Black Movement emerged in Germany, in which the Ghanaian-German poet May Ayim played a leading role. She gained international recognition for her writing and through her co-editorship of the standard work “Farbe bekennen”. To mark the 20th anniversary of her death, in “Sisters and Souls”, edited by Natasha A. Kelly, Black women writers of different generations present in a moving way how they were inspired politically and personally by May Ayim.
