Resistance against any form of oppression is essential to the growth of all progressive societies. It then comes to the fore, when a minority in a country are marginalized and stigmatised due to their otherness. German history has been one which has laid emphasis on its national values, its purity. This hardly left room for foreigners, including Africans and people of colour. Victimisation and attacks on foreigners, for racist reasons are still going on today and all that is left for people of colour in Germany to do is to put up a resistance. This has prompted the Afro-German struggles for more recognition and acceptance as Germans with African origins. A key figure that encouraged them to stand up for their rights is Fasia Jansen. She is one of the most interesting figures in the Afro-German history today. The paper addresses the issue of resistance in relation to this remarkable woman, and aims to analyse the dynamics of resistance among the Afro-Germans and Africans in Germany and their impact on the wider African presence in Europe. I intend to use books such Fasia – Geliebte Rebellin, (Marina Achenbach: Asso-Verlag, Oberhausen 2004), Zwischen Charleston und Stechschritt: Schwarze im Nationalsozialismus (ed. Martin, Peter and Christine Alonzo, 2004), and The Black Book (2005) among others.
