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. \u003ci\u003eBlack Lives Under Nazism\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating work of recovery and a strong argument for a relational approach to memory. -- Michael Rothberg, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSarah 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 \u003ci\u003eBlack Germany: The Making and Unmaking of a Diaspora Community, 1884-1960\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe experience of people of African descent in the Third Reich has been hauntingly absent in the public imagination of the Holocaust.  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 \u003ci\u003eThe Mind of the Holocaust Perpetrator in Fiction and Nonfiction\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Lives Under Nazism\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eThe Postcolonial African Genocide Novel: Quests for Meaningfulness\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Invisible and Invented Archives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Documenting the Past: The Artist as Witness\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to Part I\u003cbr\u003e1.
