Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A German Reader and Theme-Book It is not expected by the authors that any one pupil or any one class will do all the exercises provided in the Reader. We do not advise anything of the kind. TO at tempt that would be to retard unduly the pace of the reading itself, which is after all the important considera tion. What is intended is to provide a quantity of good material for drill, which can be used variously by teachers, according to their individual preferences, or according to the circumstances such as the size and maturity of classes. Those who prefer to conduct the class-room drill in German will make large use of the Fragen and ignore the Themes, except for written work at home or for review. Those who instruct classes of considerable size can use both Fragen and Themes or portions of either, selected and distributed at pleasure either for colloquial practice or for exercises in writing German. In the beginning the preparation of the Fragen will mean little more than the memorizing of the answers from the German text. As soon as possible, however, this process should be replaced by real freie Reproduktion, and for this reason the set Fragen are discontinued after the seventeenth selection.

Book excerpt: "Invisible Woman: Growing Up Black in Germany, republished in a new annotated edition, recounts Ika Hügel-Marshall's experiences growing up as the daughter of a white German woman and an African-American man after World War II. As an «occupation baby», born in a small German town in 1947, Ika has a double stigma: Not only has she been born out of wedlock, but she is also Black. Although loved by her mother, Ika's experiences with German society's reaction to her skin color resonate with the insidiousness of racism, thus instilling in her a longing to meet her biological father. When she is seven, the state places her into a church-affiliated orphanage far away from where her mother, sister, and stepfather live. She is exposed to the scorn and cruelty of the nuns entrusted with her care. Despite the institutionalized racism, Ika overcomes these hurdles, and finally, when she is in her forties, she locates her father with the help of a good friend and discovers that she has a loving family in Chicago."--Publisher description.
