This sub-project focuses on Afro-Asian actors in the divided city of Berlin in a localized long-term perspective. The project works with the question of the extent to which local entanglements are challenged by changing global discourses and contexts regarding racial division and how much racialized actors used Berlin and its possibilites through being a venue of direct competition between different political systems. The project is interested in the long-term dynamics between local division, regional embedding, and international context of the South-South solidarities and the dynamics around globalized discourses and the everyday local practices.
