Theodor Michael is among the few surviving members of the first generation of 'Afro-Germans': Born in Germany in 1925 to a Cameroonian father and a German mother, he grew up in Berlin in the last days of the Weimar Republic. As a child and teenager he worked in circuses and films and experienced the tightening knot of racial discrimination under the Nazis in the years before the Second World War. He survived the war as a forced labourer, founding a family and making a career as a journalist and actor in post-war West Germany. Since the 1980s he has become an important spokesman for the black German consciousness movement, acting as a human link between the first black German community of the inter-war period, the pan-Africanism of the 1950s and 1960s, and new generations of Germans of African descent. Theodor Michael's life story is a classic account of coming to consciousness of a man who understands himself as both black and German; accordingly, it illuminates key aspects of modern German social history as well as of the post-war history of the African diaspora. The text has been translated by Eve Rosenhaft, Professor of German Historical Studies at the University of Liverpool and an internationally acknowledged expert in Black German studies. It is accompanied by a translator's preface, explanatory notes, a chronology of historical events and a guide to further reading, so that the book will be accessible and useful both for general readers and for undergraduate students."--Publisher's description 546 Translated from German. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Michael, Theodor, |d1925- 650 0 Black people |zGermany |vBiography. 650 0 Actors |zGermany |vBiography. 651 0 Germany |xRace relations |y20th century. 650 7 24.11 history of drama. |0(NL-LeOCL)077600037 |2bcl 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY |xSocial Scientists & Psychologists. |2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE |xDiscrimination & Race Relations. |2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE |xMinority Studies. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY |zEurope |xGermany. |2bisacsh 650 7 Actors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00796296 650 7 Race relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01086509 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 611 27 BMBF-Statusseminar. |2gnd |0(DE-588)1092055606 650 7 Interethnische Herkunft. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4170117-3 650 7 Diskriminierung. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4012472-1 651 7 duitsland. |2gtt 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 648 7 Geschichte 1925-2003 |2gnd 655 7 Autobiographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 |0(DE-588)4133254-4Erlebnisbericht. |2gnd-content 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 700 1 Rosenhaft, Eve, |d1951- |etranslator. 776 08 |iEbook version : |z9781781383414 856 41 |3Table of contents |uhttp://d-nb.info/1136047565/04 852 0 |bscstacks |hDD78.B55 |iM5313 2017
