Signalman Publishing Announces Release of Germany's African Slaves: The untold story of African refugees in a hostile climate
Announcing new book documenting the plight of African refugees in Germany. This is an important resource for historians, policy makers, and anyone else interested in this vast but under-reported movement of people.
- (1888PressRelease) July 10, 2013 - Signalman Publishing is pleased to announce the release in paperback and as an ebook for the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes & Noble nook, and the Apple iBookstore of "Germany's African Slaves: The untold story of African refugees in a hostile climate" by Kwaku A. Poku of Orlando, Florida.
In a fascinating look at a vast movement of people from Africa to Germany over the second half of the 20th century, journalist Kwaku A. Poku documents these trends on a very personal level. An African refugee himself, he reports from "the inside" with access to people who came to Germany out of desperation to make a better life, yet they find something far from "ideal". In a narrative that is sometimes chilling, and other times heartbreaking, the reader will be left with a better understanding of the struggles that people undertake in search of a better life. This work fills an important void in the history of refugee movements and will undoubtedly be a valuable resource for historians, academics and anyone else interested in this topic of African refugees in Germany.
John McClure, president of Signalman Publishing, stated, "Kwaku Poku does a great service for those without much of a voice - the refugees at the edge of an otherwise very prosperous society. He tells their story in this book with eloquence and sensitivity and with a broad knowledge of policy and historical context. We are honored to have partnered with him in publishing this very
important work."
"Germany's African Slaves" (ISBN: 978-1-940145-07-5, Trade Paper, 208 pages, $14.99, Non-fiction/History) from indie book publisher Signalman, is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com and wherever fine books are sold.
