Book Synopsis German Rule, African Subjects by : Jürgen Zimmerer
Download or read book German Rule, African Subjects written by Jürgen Zimmerer. This book was released on 2021-06-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it lasted only thirty years, German colonial rule dramatically transformed South West Africa. The colonial government not only committed the first genocide of the twentieth century against the Herero and Nama, but in their efforts to establish a “model colony” and “racial state,” they brought about even more destructive and long-lasting consequences. In this now-classic study—available here for the first time in English—the author provides an indispensable account of Germany's colonial utopia in what is present-day Namibia, showing how the highly rationalized planning of Wilhelmine authorities ultimately failed even as it added to the profound immiseration of the African population.

Book Synopsis The German Colonial Experience by : Arthur J. Knoll
Download or read book The German Colonial Experience written by Arthur J. Knoll. This book was released on 2010-03-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German Colonial Experience provides readers with an understanding of how the Germans gained, explored, pacified, ruled, and exploited their colonies prior to their loss in World War I. Knoll and Hiery show how Africans, Chinese, and Pacific Islanders reacted to German rule, how the Germans ran the daily affairs of government, their vision for the colonized peoples, and how the colonizers and the colonized perceived one another. In other words, how did German colonial rule actually work? This book intensely scrutinizes colonial documents, most of them in German script, from archives not only in Germany, but also from places such as Australia, New Guinea, and Samoa. Many of these documents have never previously been published, even in the original German.

Book Synopsis The Nature of German Imperialism by : Bernhard Gissibl
Download or read book The Nature of German Imperialism written by Bernhard Gissibl. This book was released on 2016-07-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, the East African state of Tanzania is renowned for wildlife preserves such as the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Selous Game Reserve. Yet few know that most of these initiatives emerged from decades of German colonial rule. This book gives the first full account of Tanzanian wildlife conservation up until World War I, focusing upon elephant hunting and the ivory trade as vital factors in a shift from exploitation to preservation that increasingly excluded indigenous Africans. Analyzing the formative interactions between colonial governance and the natural world, The Nature of German Imperialism situates East African wildlife policies within the global emergence of conservationist sensibilities around 1900.

Book Synopsis From Windhoek to Auschwitz? by : Jürgen Zimmerer
Download or read book From Windhoek to Auschwitz? written by Jürgen Zimmerer. This book was released on 2023-12-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years before the war of annihilation in eastern Europe and the Holocaust, German colonial troops in German South West Africa perpetrated the first genocide of the twentieth century. From Windhoek to Auschwitz? interrogates the relationship between colonialism and National Socialism, using genocide, the 'racial state', and systems of forced labour as points of departure for comparative observation. The book is an indispensable document in the intensive debate among German and international scholars about the postcolonial expansion of German history, and it offers a fresh look at the history of colonialism and also the 'Third Reich'.
