Since 2022, a deceased writer whose work and life has contributed to our understanding of the world has been honoured with a tribute. After Gloria Naylor and Audre Lorde, WELTWORTREISENDE is honouring Maryse Condé (1934-2024), one of the most important voices in French-language literature.

Postcolonial literature rehabilitates the Black woman, who was invisible in colonial historiography and reduced to a subordinate role, unless she was portrayed as an exotic and sexual object.

Tsitsi Dangarembga, Yara Monteiro and Astrid H. Roemer shed light on Black women's struggles against patriarchal structures and postcolonial power relations towards female self-determination. These unique and peripheral narratives thus become spaces in our centre from which a new cartography of the world is drawn.
