Riemer-O-Rama is a wonderful weblog collecting contemporary artefacts picturing our image of the other. It's a great collection of mostly awkward stereotypes from the colonial era, like butler figures, racist views, positive racism in advertisements or colonial furniture. And yes, most of them are really from this century. For further reading I recommend a similar collection with lots of articles on the history of those stereotypes: Lorbeer, Marie (Hrsg.); Wild, Beate (Hrsg.): Menschenfresser – Negerküsse. Das Bild vom Fremden im deutschen Alltag. Berlin : Elefanten Press, 1991. "A 3,81" in our library.
