| Summary |
This title examines the relationship between African Americans and one country, Germany. Germans and African Americans encountered one another within the context of their national identities and group experiences. Unlike many other countries in Europe, Germany has played a variety of different and conflicting roles in the African American narrative and relationship with Europe. It is this diversity of roles that adds to the complexity of African American and German interactions and mutual perceptions over time |
