Kanak Attak challenges the conservative and liberal orthodoxy that good 'race relations' is simply a matter of tighter immigration control. Our common position consists of an attack against the 'Kanakisation' of specific groups of people through racist ascriptions which denies people their social, legal and political rights.

U.S. Energy Policy Should Take a Lesson
From Germany’s Energiewende: “Energiewende” may
not be a household word in the United
States today, but U.S. citizens and
policymakers are likely to hear more
about it. It’s the name of
Germany's ambitious energy transformation,
which aims to move the country to
at least 80 percent of electricity
from renewable energy sources by
2050. (Bloomberg
News)

The
German Energiewende did not just
come about in 2011. It is rooted
in the anti-nuclear movement of the
70s and brings together both conservatives
and conservationists — from
environmentalists to the church.
The shock of the oil crisis and the
meltdown in Chernobyl lead to the
search for alternatives — and
the invention of feed-in tariffs. The
Price of Green Energy: Is
Germany Killing the Environment
to Save It? The German
government is carrying out a
rapid expansion of renewable
energies like wind, solar and
biogas, yet the process is taking
a toll on nature conservation.
The issue is causing a rift
in the environmental movement,
pitting "green energy" supporters
against ecologists.

Lorde – The
Berlin Years 1984 to 1992, produced and directed
by veteran activist Dagmar
Schultz, focuses on Audre Lorde’s relation
to the German Black Diaspora, her
literary as well as political
influence, and is a unique visual
document about the times Lorde
spent in Germany. The film is
also a valuable historical document
of German history for future
generations, which tells about
the development of an Afro-German
movement and the origins of the
anti-racist movement before and
after the German unification.”
