For a Living

Dr. Tiffany Florvil is an historian focusing on histories of post-1945 Europe, the African diaspora, social movements, Black internationalism, gender and sexuality. It's intersectional, international, transnational work.

We discussed Mobilizing Black Germany: Afro-German Women and the Making of a Transnational Movement and Rethinking Black German Studies: Approaches, Interventions and Histories and alluded to various projects in process.

Tiffany mentioned many important intellectuals, "quotidian" and otherwise, including: May Ayim, Claudia Jones, Audre Lorde, and Shirley Graham Dubois. We also discussed Die Initiative Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland Bund e.V (The Initiative Black People in Germany). Tiffany urges you to read Showing Our Colors: Afro-German Women Speak Out.
