Abstract
This article argues for the ideological centrality of visual practices in the cultural politics of nationalism, immigration and diaspora. Tracing the genealogy of overseas Chinese in Germany, it demonstrates that the process of racializing European identity as ‘white’ constitutes the enabling narrative movement for ongoing social and political discrimination against non-Western nationals. It concludes by arguing that new discursive categories and visual paradigms are needed to account for Germany’s multicultural society in the 1990s.
