Afrikanische Kolonialsoldaten in deutscher Perspektive (1870–1950)

In the organizer's words:

In April 1945, colonial soldiers played a major role in the liberation of Alsace and Baden from the Nazi regime. Their perception by the German post-war public was based on racist images dating back to the 19th century. These campaigns were part of German self-understanding debates about ideas of gender and "whiteness". Sandra Maß (Ruhr University Bochum) and Heiko Wegmann (freiburg-postkolonial.de project) will discuss German perspectives on African soldiers, their origins and social functions.
