English:
Tina M Campt "Other Germans: Black Germans and the Politics of Race, Gender, and Memory in the Third Reich"
- A nice work. The best fitting to your "gender angle" I can think of.
Hans J Massaquoi "Destined to Witness: Growing up Black in Nazi Germany"
- Not a historical analysis, but a readable autobiography. An easy introduction to the topic "Black Germans 1933-1945".
Clarence Lusane "Hitler's Black Victims: The Historical Experiences of Afro-Germans, European Blacks, Africans, and African Americans in the Nazi Era"
- Riddled with small errors (the German spelling is painful), but a nice overview.
German:
Katharina Oguntoye "Eine Afro-Deutsche Geschichte: Zur Lebenssituation von Afrikanern und Afro-Deutschen in Deutschland von 1884 bis 1950"
- IMHO the reference work for the history of Black Germans.
Christine Alonzo and Peter Martin "Zwischen Charleston und Stechschritt: Schwarze im Nationalsozialismus"
- An exhibition turned into a book. Little analysis, plenty of period writings.
HTH and regards
Mark
