History of Afro-Germans

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of article History of Afro-Germans is to shad more light on the history of Afro-Germans of the last eight decades. I raise here issues like: social inclusion and exclusion, national affiliation, acceptance, self-identification and social categorization, stigmatization, discrimination based on racial background. I describe how this group has been perceived by the White majority of Germans, and activities of Afro-Germans that influenced change of their status and image in Germany. Based on a theoretical analysis, the following results reflect an incremental development in the recognition of Afro-Germans in Germany. Whereas the first generation of the 1940’s had been labelled as “occupation kids” not recognized by the majority of German society as member of it, rather as unwanted souvenir of Allies soldiers, the youngest generation in the meantime enjoys almost all rights included in being a German citizen.
