About this book

Is there racism against people from Eastern Europe in Germany, Western Europe or North America? Despite the global anti-racist mobilisation of recent years, this question has not usually been asked. This omission is surprising given the long historical tradition of devaluing ‚the East‘. In recent years, the picture has changed noticeably. In Germany, young activists are talking about anti-Slavism and call for their experiences to be recognised. In literature, authors of Eastern European origin write about their arrival and growing up in Germany and the racism they experienced. Painful experiences that were often silenced thus become sayable. At the same time, there are repeated controversial discussions about whether people from Eastern Europe can experience ‚racism‘ at all as ‚whites‘. This issue takes stock of the field of research and at the same time looks at future perspectives.
