This volume is an exception to this generalisation. It looks at various ways in which an African 'presence' was felt in the German city of Leipzig before 1950. Among the topics covered are:
- the collection of 'curiosities', ethnographic artefacts, books and travellers' records
- the publication of books
- missionary work
- teaching and research at the university (languages, 'racial science', ethnology etc.)
- the display of Africans at trade fairs and exhibitions.
Short biographies of 17 men who studied or taught at the University of Leipzig and made a contribution to the study of Africa are also included.
