Drawing from personal encounters in Berlin and scholarly reflection, the author examines issues such as the use of racially charged language (notably the N-word in German), epistemic exclusion, and the complexities of decolonizing academic disciplines. The text emphasizes the need for antiracist frameworks and greater awareness of marginalized voices to foster equitable academic and social environments. It also introduces the concept of Nkwaethnography, an African-centered research approach that integrates personal identity with scholarly inquiry, as a method to articulate the intersectional realities faced by scholars of color in this context. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Feminist German Studies is the property of University of Nebraska Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
