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. 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. Archival materials featured in this book include the original manuscript of the essay “Survivors: Portrait of the Group Sister Outsider” (1984), written by Gloria Wekker in collaboration with the Black lesbian literary group Sister Outsider, the seminal speech Statement of the Black Women’s Group (1983) by Julia da Lima, a contextualizing interview with Tineke E. Jansen and Mo Salomon (1984), excerpts from the book launch of Philomena Essed’s Everyday Racism (1984), and short texts authored by other Black feminist groups in the Netherlands, such as Zwarte Vrouwen \u0026amp; Racisme, Flamboyant, Ashanti, and Groep Zwarte Vrouwen Nijmegen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Boekhandel Perdu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48674467905866,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2782\/9974\/files\/1_Cover_Archival-Textures1_24_05_07-digital-preview-1382x2048.jpg?v=1717760131"},{"product_id":"posting","title":"Posting","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eed.

As is the case for many professions, in the history of Dutch graphic design the absence of women, non-binary, queer, Black designers is striking. This doesn’t only point back to systematic processes of exclusion in the first place, but also to the biases at play regarding whose work is remembered and archived. While efforts have been made to add forgotten names to the existing canon, the many posters, flyers and other printed matter shelved in queer and feminist archives remind us to question the notion of single authorship altogether and instead study graphic design as a decisively collaborative and transdisciplinary practice, which is especially true for community-led and volunteer-based projects. The posters featured in this book point to this rich landscape of feminist organizing, and were found at the International Institute of Social History and the International Archive for the Women’s Movement (IAV-Atria) in Amsterdam.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Boekhandel Perdu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48674470330698,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2782\/9974\/files\/3_Cover_Archival-Textures3_24_05_07-digital-preview-1382x2048.jpg?v=1717760174"},{"product_id":"reclaiming","title":"(Re)claiming","description":"\u003cp\u003eed.

When revisiting these tapes made by Tineke E. Jansen between 1980 and 1995, the act of attentive listening to the oral accounts of women’s experiences is central: Audio-recording allows “herstories” to be played back. On Tineke’s audio recordings, Indonesian-Chinese women talk about their migration to the Netherlands in the ’50s and ’60s, about family, upbringing, and their experience with racism. Tamara Hartman speaks with Tineke, who shares her views on oral history, Black feminism in the Netherlands, and migration. Their conversation is framed by two archival texts which draw on the recorded stories: A reprint of an article published in feminist magazine LOVER (1991) and a text that was once orally presented, but never published, titled “Herlina Yang Tercinta” (1994). Both texts derive from the collection of transcripts, notes, academic papers and pictures that are part of the archive. The book is a testament to one of the first attempts to tune in to Indonesian-Chinese women’s voices that rarely surface in public discourse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Boekhandel Perdu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48674475475274,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2782\/9974\/files\/4_Cover_Archival-Textures4_24_05_07-digital-preview-1382x2048.jpg?v=1717760237"},{"product_id":"republishing-umoja-zwarte-vrouwenkrant","title":"Republishing: Umoja Zwarte Vrouwenkrant","description":"\u003cp\u003eeds. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTamara Hartman, Ans Sarianamual, Mirelle van Tulder, Tabea Nixdorff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eRepublishing: Umoja Zwarte Vrouwenkrant\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emakes 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all started in December 1984, when Ans Sarianamual made a promise to Audre Lorde to start a magazine for Black women in the Netherlands.
