An award-winning journalist, TV political analyst, and creator of theGrio documentary, Afro-Latinx Revolution: Puerto Rico, recounts her experiences as an African American and Puerto Rican woman, reflecting on her improbable journey from Syracuse to Harvard, hedge fund boardrooms to newsrooms, and beyond in pursuit of America's infinite opportunities. Part inspiring memoir, part cultural analysis, with remarkable self-determination, Natasha S. Alford shows why the movement to recognize Afro-Latin identity illuminates shared struggles across the Black diaspora and often overlooked history.Award-winning journalist Natasha S. Alford grew up between two worlds as the daughter of an African American father and Puerto Rican mother. In American Negra, a narrative that is part memoir, part cultural analysis, Alford reflects on growing up as a Black Latina in a working-class family from the city of Syracuse.In smart, vivid prose, Alford illustrates the complexity of being multiethnic in Upstate New York and society's flawed teachings about matters of identity. When she travels to Puerto Rico for the first time, she is the darkest in her family, and navigates shame for not speaking Spanish fluently. She visits African-American hair salons where she's told that she has "good" hair, while internalizing images from Spanish-language media that she has "bad" hair or pelo malo. When Alford goes from an underfunded public school system to Harvard University surrounded by privilege and pedigree, she wrestles with more than her own ethnic identity, as she is faced with imposter syndrome, and a struggle to define success on her own terms. A study abroad trip to the Dominican Republic changes her perspective on being Afro-Latina and sets her on a path to better understand her own Latin roots.Alford then embarks on a whirlwind journey to find her authentic voice, taking her across the United States from a hedge fund boardroom to a classroom and ultimately a newsroom, as a journalist. A coming-of-age story about what it's like to live at the intersections of race, culture, and class, while staying true to yourself, American Negra is a captivating look at what it means to be both Black and Negra in the United States. As a growing movement to embrace Afro-Latino identity gains recognition, American Negra illustrates the diversity of the Afro-Latin experience in the larger fabric of American society.

Wie erweist man einem Franz Kafka, und noch dazu zu dessen 100. Todestag, die Reverenz? Er hat die Literatur geprägt wie wenige. Kaum eine Schriftstellerin/Poetin, kaum ein Schriftsteller/Poet, ja kaum Künstlerinnen oder Künstler sonst können sich seinem Geschriebenen entziehen. Herausgeber Otto Brusatti hat es gewagt und bat 17 Künstlerinnen und Künstler um ihren persönlichen Beitrag zu Franz Kafka. Die Form sollte keine entscheidende Rolle spielen. Es konnte sich um eine Erzählung, eine Novelle, eine Parabel handeln, aber um kein dramatisches Stück und auch keine etwa Weiterformulierung oder gar Fortschreibung eines Kafka-Torsos (so es den dichterisch bei ihm überhaupt gibt); aber Kafka sollte Anstoß, geheime Idee, gar Vorbild dafür sein. Theodora Bauer, Arno Geiger, Max Gruber, Monika Helfer, Bodo Hell, Paulus Hochgatterer, Franz Hohler, Radek Knapp, Natasha Korsakova, Thomas Macho, Kurt Palm, Rafik Schami, Stefan Slupetzky, Edgar Tezak, Renate Welsh und Anton Zeilinger erklärten sich zu einen Beitrag bereit. Das Ergebnis kann in diesem Band nachgelesen werden: Die Beiträge sind höchst unterschiedlich. Fast niemand aber konnte oder wollte sich Kafka-Vorbildern (vor allem aus manchen Erzählungen oder aus dem Roman "Der Prozeß") entziehen.
