"""A Nation's Undesirables makes an invaluable intervention into contemporary discussions of systemic racism and the roles of memory, postmemory, and erasure in the construction of identity. Surrounding a poignant personal narrative is an often-neglected historical account of German anti-Black racism and the ways it operated around the Second World War."" --Kendall Phillips, editor of Framing Public Memory ""Patton's innovative use of autoethnography highlights how race and racism in the German and American contexts are intertwined in historically complex ways, detailing both the establishment of legal structures to uphold racism and how racism was experienced at the individual level."" --Nana Osei-Kofi, author of AfroSwedish Places of Belonging"
