Zusammenfassung:(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) As indicated in his title, Felix Brahm seeks to make a comparative study of scholarship on Africa in Germany and France from the inter-war era through the first postcolonial decade, with specific attention to paradigm shifts and institutional change. The comparisons are rendered particularly problematic in the context of decolonization - for the period under consideration in the book (1930-70), Germany had no colonies and in general it had only a very brief colonial history. Zechlin was a very ambiguous character who promoted post-Second World War African studies, but had previously not only supported the Nazis but also attempted to use the German occupation of Paris to seize thousands of books from French colonial libraries.
