Race after Hitler: Black Occupation Children in Postwar Germany and America. By Heide Fehrenbach. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2005. xvi, 263 pp. $29.95, ISBN 0-691-11906-6.)

Heide Fehrenbach, professor at Northern Illinois University, joins the growing ranks of researchers investigating the history of black Germans with her new book Race after Hitler. In a case study, she investigates the German and American responses to the approximately 5,000 black occupation children in postwar Germany. On the German side, she was especially interested in the new definition of "race" in Germany that often simply ignored Germany's colonial and Nazi past. On the American and international sides, Fehrenbach studied the interaction between Germans and African American circles in the United States and the links between U.S. foreign policy and America's domestic struggle for civil rights.
