Who Is a German? Historical and Modern Perspectives on Africans in Germany brings historical analysis into conversation with Black German experience and questions of national belonging. This is an edited research volume, not a single-author monograph.

Hopkins’s introductory essay, “Race, Nationality and Culture: The African Diaspora in Germany,” appears alongside contributions by Helga Emde, Marilyn Séphocle, and Andreas Mielke. The volume is an early resource for examining the relationship between Black German and African American communities.
