Amplifying Eds. Setareh Noorani, Tabea Nixdorff by Archival Textures

The book Amplifying brings together written manifestations that trace the beginnings of Black feminism in the Netherlands. Amplifying means giving credit to, mentioning, over and over, and supporting the circulation of sources and authors that are formative for our thinking and practices. It also means putting in the “extra effort” to seek out voices that are not immediately within reach as their recognition has been compromised by structural forces of oppression. In the early 1980s, the political term “black” (“zwart” in Dutch) was introduced in the Netherlands to build alliances between women from different diasporic communities, who were faced with racism in their everyday lives.
