This groundbreaking history traces the development of Germany's
black community, from its origins in colonial Africa to its
decimation by the Nazis during World War II. Robbie Aitken and Eve
Rosenhaft follow the careers of Africans arriving from the
colonies, examining why and where they settled, their working lives
and their political activities, and giving unprecedented attention
to gender, sexuality and the challenges of 'mixed marriage'.
Addressing the networks through which individuals constituted
community, Aitken and Rosenhaft explore the ways in which these
relationships spread beyond ties of kinship and birthplace to
constitute communities as 'black'. The study also follows a number
of its protagonists to France and back to Africa, providing new
insights into the roots of Francophone black consciousness and
postcolonial memory. Including an in-depth account of the impact of
Nazism and its aftermath, this book offers a fresh critical
perspective on narratives of 'race' in German history.
