Republishing: Umoja Zwarte Vrouwenkrant Eds. Tamara Hartman, Ans Sarianamual, Mirelle van Tulder, Tabea Nixdorff by Archival Textures

The book Republishing: Umoja Zwarte Vrouwenkrant makes a groundbreaking yet vastly unacknowledged grassroots magazine from Arnhem accessible as a source to enrich the still underexposed legacies of Black feminists in the Netherlands. It all started in December 1984, when Ans Sarianamual made a promise to Audre Lorde to start a magazine for Black women in the Netherlands. Together with a group of Black women organized as the foundation ‘Zwarte Vrouwen & Racisme’ Arnhem, the first issue of Umoja Zwarte Vrouwenkrant was published only one month later. The magazine (1985–1986) was unique for its time because of its radically intersectional approach, and the establishment of “black” as a political term in order to unite and strengthen all women who were labeled as “the Other” in the Netherlands and beyond.
