At the end of the 1970s, some 20,000 of them were sent from the People’s Republic of Mozambique to the GDR to labour for their socialist sister country. After the Berlin Wall fell, almost all of them lost their residency status. Decades later, they are still waiting for most of their wages to be paid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBirgit Weyhe depicts their search for belonging and a place to call home, caught between two cultures and two states that no longer exist. Based on extensive interviews, she creates three fictitious narrators and transforms their stories into a visual language that skilfully interweaves African and European narrative traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWinner of the Berthold Leibinger Foundation Comic Book Prize and the Max and Moritz Prize for Best German Comic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Oversized Paperback \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: Germany, 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: V \u0026amp; Q Books\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 240\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9783863913069\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10: 386391306X\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Birgit Weyhe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39658736779367,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9783863913069.jpg?v=1647006425","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/madgermanes","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
