African Literature
The volume Writing the Slave Trade Trauma in Francophone Africa marks the launch of our new series African Literatures: Transmedial/Transregional/Transcultural. How can a historical trauma-the violence and consequences of which extend into the present day-be recounted in literature? Thierry Boudjekeu Kamgang examines how three contemporary Francophone African novelists-Kangni Alem, Léonora Miano, and Wilfried N'Sondé-address the traumatic aftermath of the transatlantic slave trade from an African perspective. This volume demonstrates how literature opens up new perspectives where conventional historiography reaches its limits-and how engaging with historical trauma gives rise to a literary impetus for remembrance, mourning, and an African renaissance.
„Aufs Land!“ oder „Rheinische Hachschara“
Today, agriculture and Jewish life are rarely associated with one another. Yet in the years following 1933, training in agriculture and horticulture offered young Jewish men and women career prospects, prepared them for possible emigration, and was linked to various visions for the future of Jewish life. In his book "Aufs Land!" oder "Rheinische Hachschara", Hubertus Fischer examines three hitherto little-known Jewish agricultural and horticultural training centers in what was then the Rhine Province: the Galperhof estate, the Dietkirchener Hof near Bonn, and an Orthodox religious training center in Siegburg. In doing so, he sheds light on a largely unknown facet of Jewish life during the Nazi era and draws attention to institutions and life trajectories that have been largely overlooked in research to date.
