Abstract
Researching on Afro-Germans in German literature proved to be a very fascinating, yet tedious task. The limited materials that were available to me enabled me to discover Afro-Germans as a people who are barely recognized by their fellow citizens and even less acknowledged by foreign nationals residing outside of Germany. Due to this fact I found it difficult to gain access to primary or secondary texts written by or about Afro-Germans. Nevertheless, I was successful in locating a few sources and discovered an aspect of German literature that showed me the underlying value of identity and a healthy perception of oneself.
