Note: This guide-in-progress to literature in English on the Afro-German connection pertains to historical, cultural, intellectual, political, and economic relations connecting Germany, Germans, and German-Americans, to Africa, Africans, Black Americans, Afro-Germans and the African diaspora generally. The pertinent field of intellectual history, i.e. the relations between black intellectuals and thought to German thought and thinkers will be subject of one or more additional bibliographies. (W. E. B. Du Bois is the most celebrated example.)
