Tells the story, through analysis and oral history, of a nearly forgotten minority under Hitler’s<\/a> regime<\/em><\/div>\n

It’s hard to imagine an issue or image more riveting than Black Germans during the Third Reich<\/a>. Yet accounts of their lives are virtually nonexistent, despite the fact that they lived through a regime dedicated to racial purity.<\/p>\n

Tina M. Campt’s Other Germans<\/em> tells the story of this largely forgotten group of individuals, with important distinctions from other accounts. Most strikingly, Campt centers her arguments on race, rather than anti-Semitism. She also provides an oral history as background for her study, interviewing two Black German subjects for her book.<\/p>\n

In the end the author comes face to face with an inevitable question: Is there a relationship between the history of Black Germans and those of other black communities?<\/p>\n

The answers to Campt’s questions make Other Germans<\/em> essential reading in the emerging study of what it means to be black and German in the context of a society that looked at anyone with non-German blood as racially impure at best.<\/p>\n
