Content:
"This volume was originally published in German in 2015, commemorating the end of World War Two seventy years earlier, and acknowledging the contribution of African American soldiers to Germany's liberation from fascist rule. In an interdisciplinary approach it collects the voices of some of the descendants of these World War Two heroes. Black Germans of this post-war generation relate and analyse their experiences from various perspectives. Historical, political and research analyses, as well as life stories, interviews and literary texts, form a kaleidoscope through which a new perspective on an almost forgotten part of German history and U.S. American-German relationships is conveyed. Causes and consequences of racism in the past and in the present, are explored and strategies for achieving positive changes are developed."
