Introduction

Fatima El-Tayeb collaborated with director Angelina Maccarone in writing the script for the feature film Everything Will Be Fine (Alles wird gut, 1997), for which they received a grant from the state of Schleswig-Holstein in 1996. The film has won awards at the New Festival in New York, at Toronto's Inside Out, and at the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in Los Angeles. Alles wird gut was published in book form by the Orlanda Frauenverlag in 1999.

El-Tayeb is an Afro-German scholar who earned her doctorate in History from the University of Hamburg, where she wrote her dissertation entitled "Black Germans and German Racism: Oxymoron or Repressed History: African Germans and the Discourse on `Race,' 1900-1933." A revised version of this study, Schwarze Deutsche: Der Diskurs urn "Rasse" und nationale Identitat 1890-1933, has been published by Campus Verlag. El-Tayeb was the special guest at the 2001 Women in German conference in Rio Rico, Arizona. The interview was inspired by the discussion that followed the film screening there and took place via e-mail.
