German Entanglements in Transatlantic Slavery

Book Overview

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.
