A literature list could look something like this:

Fredrickson, George M., “Racism: A Short History”, Princeton, 2002
Keevak, Michael, “Becoming Yellow: A Short History of Racial Thinking”, Princeton, 2011
Thielen, Marc, “Jenseits von Tradition – Modernität und Veränderung männlicher Lebensweisen in der Migration als

Provokation für die (Sexual-)Pädagogik”, in: Zeitschrift für Pädagogik 6/​2010, Beltz-Verlag

Note here that the first line begins at left margin, but subsequent lines are indented. For that you could just use the style Text body indent. I myself prefer creating a new style called “Lit”, so I know exactly what it’s there for. To do that, right click on the style Text body and choose New. Go to the tab Indents & Spacing and set the Indent Before text to 0.75cm and the Indent First line to -0.75cm (i.e. a negative number). This way the author’s name stands out more clearly. It’s also possible to sort this list alphabetically by marking the entries with the mouse and then going to the menu Tools › Sort and pressing OK. Template:Documentation/Note
