    "Our bags are packed" - are immigrants leaving Germany? w/ Waslat Hasrat Nazimi

    Please support us at: https://www.patreon.com/madingermanypod?l=de In this conversation, journalist and author Waslat Hasrat-Nazimi talks about her new book Rausländer: Our Suitcases Are Packed, a bold and deeply personal examination of racism, exclusion, and belonging in today’s Germany. In Rausländer, Waslat Hasrat-Nazimi explores how life in Germany has become increasingly shaped by fear, alienation, and everyday racism for people with migration backgrounds. Drawing on her own experiences and conversations with activists, artists, and thinkers — including Enissa Amani, Tupoka Ogette, and Lamya Kaddor — she reveals how discrimination manifests not only in political rhetoric, but also in daily encounters, workplaces, and education. Published by Rowohlt in April 2025, Rausländer combines memoir, reportage, and social critique, confronting the dangerous normalization of exclusionary ideas, from “remigration” to “overforeignization.” It’s both a wake-up call and a hopeful appeal for a more inclusive, empathetic society.
