Juxtaposing these intersections demonstrates that negative German perceptions of Blackness proceeded from nineteenth-century racial theoriesStudies in German history ;v. 15.African AmericansRelations with GermansHistoryAfrican AmericansGermanyHistoryBlack peopleRace identityGermanyHistoryBlack peopleGermanyHistoryGermanyRace relationsHistoryElectronic books.African AmericansRelations with GermansHistory.African AmericansHistory.Black peopleRace identityHistory.Black peopleHistory.305.896/043Honeck Mischa1976-878747Klimke Martin852588Kuhlmann-Smirnov Anne878748MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452785103321Germany and the Black diaspora points of contact, 1250-19141961949UNINA
