We have published this non-commercial series since 1989. It was founded by Hartmut Lutz (now Universit”t Greifswald). We had additional help from Helmut Vollmer and Gundula Wilke. The series contains bilingual (English-German) writings by authors who have begun on the margins of the respective power cultures in their home countries. They still continue to 'right' history. These writers include Native Americans and Native Canadians, Aborigial Australians, New Zealand Maori, Chicano/a, Pacific Islanders, Black Americans. OBEMA's objectives are: to introduce the German reading public to the works of marginalised authors; to help generate a greater international awareness of intercultural relations and relatedness; to support the efforts of marginalised authors for recognition by giving international publicity; to help enlarge and enrich the established literary canon on grounds of ethnicity, class and/or gender.
