Along with her Picnic contribution “Kotzebue, der Kosmopolitismus und die Weimarer Klassik – eine Polemik“ Johanna Hügel provided a selected reading list of academic papers related to the topic of non-European indigenous people in Kotzebues plays. Two of them are focusing on German engagement with Black, Indigenous and People of Colour in the 18th – 19th Century:
1) Sigrid Köhler: Beautiful Black Soul? The Racial Matrix of White Aesthetics (Reading Kotzebue against Kleist). In: Image & Narrative 14/3 (2013), p. 34-45;
2) Susanne Zantop: Colonial Fantasies: Conquest, Family, and Nation in Precolonial Germany, 1770-1870. Durham, NC, London 1997.
