Matthew Unangst. Colonial Geography: Race and Space in German East Africa, 1884-1905
Chapter 6 African Students and the Politics of Race and Gender in the German Democratic Republic
Comrades of Color: East Germany in the Cold War World
In keeping with the tenets of socialist internationalism, the political culture of the German Democratic Republic strongly emphasized solidarity with the non-white world: children sent telegrams to Angela Davis in prison, workers made contributions from their wages to relief efforts in Vietnam and Angola, and the deaths of Patrice Lumumba, Ho Chi Minh, and Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired public memorials. Despite their prominence, however, schol…
African Voices in German Colonial Sources
I began doing research on the history of German colonialism when I was a graduate student in the late 1990s. I was writing a dissertation about Carl Meinhof, a linguist who was instrumental to the development of Afrikanistik and “colonial” linguistics during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. My hope was to write something that detailed the involvement of everyone who contributed to shaping the discipline, Africans as well as Germ…
Schwarze Schwester Angela” – Die DDR und Angela Davis: Kalter Krieg, Rassismus, und Black Power, 1965–1975
Sophie Lorenz’s book, “Schwarze Schwester Angela” – Die DDR und Angela Davis: Kalter Krieg, Rassismus, und Black Power, 1965–1975, explores the East German solidarity campaign for Angela Davis, the prominent African American political activist who was arrested and imprisoned in 1970. In this, Lorenz contributes to the burgeoning historiography of Cold War cultural history, an area that was until recently underrepresented in the more general histo…
After the Imperialist Imagination: Two Decades of Research on Global Germany and Its Legacies
Agents of dissent: African student organizations in the German Democratic Republic
African students in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) often belonged to national student clubs (NHG) that were arranged for them by the East German government. Many were also members of an umbrella organization for all African students and workers in the GDR (UASA). While the GDR authorities thought that the NHG and UASA would adopt political positions that reflected those of the GDR, this article demonstrates that the students instead used th…
Eleven Nigerian Students in Cold War East Germany: Visions of Science, Modernity, and Decolonization
This article follows the story of the first African students in the German Democratic Republic, 11 Nigerians who arrived in 1951. Thousands of other African students followed them in the years leading up to the GDR's dissolution in 1990. My work is the first to chronicle the Nigerians' story, and how East Germans received and reacted to these Africans living among them. I focus on what each side hoped to gain from the exchange. East German govern…
Of conjunctions, comportment, and clothing: The place of African teaching assistants in Berlin and Hamburg, 1889–1919
The situation for Africans who lived in Germany and worked as teaching assistants in Berlin and Hamburg was quite different from that of their colleagues who remained in the colonies. Indeed, some Lektoren produced texts that delved not only into their national customs, but German ones as well. African assistants were, however, undeniably integral to the learning process at the Berlin Seminar and Hamburg Institute. The assistants' roles were in s…

Africa in Translation: A History of Colonial Linguistics in Germany and Beyond, 1814-1945
The study of African languages in Germany, or Afrikanistik, originated among Protestant missionaries in the early nineteenth century and was incorporated into German universities after Germany entered the "Scramble for Africa" and became a colonial power in the 1880s. Despite its long history, few know about the German literature on African languages or the prominence of Germans in the discipline of African philology. In Africa in Translation: A …

Carl Meinhof and the German influence on Nicholas van Warmelo's ethnological and linguistic writing, 1927-1935
The influence of German linguist Carl Meinhof on the work of his student, Nicholas van Warmelo, was substantial and has been underexplored. They met in the 1920s, when van Warmelo went to the University of Hamburg to study under Meinhof, and was essentially ‘groomed’ to join his faculty of African and Pacific Languages. Van Warmelo never did work in Hamburg and instead returned to South Africa, where he became Government Ethnologist in 1930. Even…
