This volume was originally published in German in 2015, commemorating the end of World War II seventy years earlier and acknowledging the contribution of African American soldiers to Germany’s liberation from fascist rule. Using an interdisciplinary approach, it collects the voices of some of the descendants of these World War II heroes. In this volume, Black Germans of this post-war generation relate and analyse their experiences from various perspectives. Historical, political and research essays alongside life writing, interviews and literary texts form a kaleidoscope through which a new perspective on an almost forgotten part of German history and US American–German relationships is conveyed. The collection explores causes and consequences of racism in the past and in the present as well as developing strategies for achieving positive changes.
Marion Kraft is an African American–German scholar, retired college and university teacher, lecturer, author, editor and translator. She studied German and American literatures at the universities of Cologne and Frankfurt/Main (Germany) and at the Ohio State University (US) and holds a doctorate of philosophy from the University of Osnabrück (Germany). She has published numerous essays on racism, literature, feminism and the Black movement in Germany and has five books to her credit.
