Postmemorial Landscapes of Black Europe: Maud Sulter’s Alpine Photomontages Coda: Dancing Out History in Oxana Chi’s Durch Gärten Tanzen Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsBlack Lives Under Nazism provides an in-depth analysis of a largely unknown corpus of Black African diaspora artworks and literature that address Black lives under Nazism. By making this corpus coherently visible, this book illuminates the complex relations of Black and Jewish experiences in World War II Europe and challenges extant scholarship in Black and Holocaust Studies. -- Chigbo Arthur Anyaduba, author of <i>The Postcolonial African Genocide Novel: Quests for Meaningfulness</i> Sarah Phillips Casteel’s rich, imaginative, and compelling study seeks to make visible the Black experience of the wartime period. Through her deft analysis of a diverse range of Black testimonial and creative work she brilliantly illustrates the limitations and possibilities these offer in creating countermemories of the Holocaust. -- Robbie Aitken, coauthor of <i>Black Germany: The Making and Unmaking of a Diaspora Community, 1884-1960</i> Sarah Phillips Casteel’s beautifully written Black Lives Under Nazism offers a startling new account of the memory of World War II and the Holocaust that centers Black artists and writers. Moving from internment camp art and memoirs by historical eyewitnesses to the novels, photography, and dance of later generations, Casteel’s book reveals how certain histories are rendered invisible while simultaneously showing us the power of art and literature to reanimate the forgotten past and decolonize hegemonic perspectives. Black Lives Under Nazism is a fascinating work of recovery and a strong argument for a relational approach to memory. -- Michael Rothberg, author of <i>The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators</i> Sarah Phillips Casteel’s beautifully written Black Lives Under Nazism offers a startling new account of the memory of World War II and the Holocaust that centers Black artists and writers.

With her penetrating and sophisticated study, Sarah Casteel illuminates the lived histories of Black victims and survivors of the Nazi regime, thereby expanding the canon of Holocaust representation. -- Erin McGlothlin, author of <i>The Mind of the Holocaust Perpetrator in Fiction and Nonfiction</i> Black Lives Under Nazism provides an in-depth analysis of a largely unknown corpus of Black African diaspora artworks and literature that address Black lives under Nazism. By making this corpus coherently visible, this book illuminates the complex relations of Black and Jewish experiences in World War II Europe and challenges extant scholarship in Black and Holocaust Studies. -- Chigbo Arthur Anyaduba, author of <i>The Postcolonial African Genocide Novel: Quests for Meaningfulness</i> Author InformationSarah Phillips Casteel is professor of English at Carleton University, where she is cross-appointed to the Institute of African Studies, and a member of the Holocaust Educational Foundation’s Academic Council.
