| Sumario: | In the late 1990s a surge of historical novels about German colonialism in Africa and its previously neglected legacies hit the German literary scene. This development has continued to the present, making colonialism an established literary theme alongside Germany's dominant memory themes - National Socialism and the Holocaust, the former GDR and its demise, and ""1968.""

It brings the hitherto neglected German case to the international. |
