Abstract
The End of World War I marked the end of German colonialism. This paper aims to describe the perspective of the German youth towards german colonialism and the reconstructed identity of the german nation as a nation that can not be separated from its colonial past. Both can be extracted from the novel Der Schrei der Hyänen by Andrea Paluch and Robert Habeck. The Method used is descriptive qualitative using a postcolonial approach. From the result of the analysis, it is known that through the characters' journey, colonialism is no longer seen as the success of the Germans in managing the colonies but rather as a dark period that snatched the future of the german nation. Mixed identities become an offer in the face of globalization as an effort to eliminate the stigma of chauvinism that is still attached to the german nation.abstract needs to summarize the content of the paper.
