- Title
»The Untold Story«: The Civil Rights Movement in the Context of Eurocentric and Denominationalist Church History.
- Authors
Strübind, Andrea
- Abstract
In this article, German church historiography is considered with reference to its reception of the Civil Rights Movement in the USA. Given that North American church history is generally granted only limited space within the traditional range of issues covered in church history research in Germany, it is not surprising that the Civil Rights Movement has received even less attention. Furthermore, the years after 1945 saw the development of its own distinct »concept« of contemporary history within Germany, which primarily entailed a content-based concentration on the two German dictatorships and, from the 1960s onward, the processing of the Shoah. However, even in more recent global historical works investigating the History of Christianity, only rudimentary information is to be found regarding the Civil Rights Movement, which largely just reprints traditional narratives.
