Inhaltsangabe

The collection combines German perspectives on slavery in the Americas with an investigation of German colonial endeavours in Africa, thereby seeking to interrogate historical processes of empire-building, colonialism, and slavery. The collection demonstrates that they should be regarded as part and parcel of a narrative that ingrained colonialism and slavery in German cultural memory and identity to a larger extent than has been illustrated and admitted so far in general discourses in contemporary Germany. This book was originally published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies.
