      abstract = {This book explores the 'Black Horror' campaign as an  important chapter in the popularisation of racialised  discourse in European history. Originating in early 1920s  Germany, this international racist campaign was promoted  through modern media, targeting French occupation troops  from colonial Africa on German soil and using stereotypical  images of 'racially primitive', sexually depraved black  soldiers threatening and raping 'white women' in 1920s  Germany to generate widespread public concern about their  presence. The campaign became an international phenomenon  in Post-WWI Europe, and had followers throughout Europe,  the US and Australia. Wigger examines the campaign's  combination of race, gender, nation and class as categories  of social inclusion and exclusion, which led to the  formation of a racist conglomerate of interlinked  discriminations. Her book offers readers a rare insight  into a widely forgotten chapter of popular racism in  Europe, and sets out the benefits of a historically  reflexive study of racialised discourse and its  intersectionality.--},
