    Abstract: Die Rolle Japans als koloniale Besatzungsmacht im Ersten Weltkrieg ist noch weitgehend unerforscht. Japan erklärte Deutschland am 23. August 1914 aufgrund des anglo-japanischen Bündnisses den Krieg und besetzte daraufhin die deutschen Kolonien in Mikronesien nördlich des Äquators.Yuko Maezawa untersucht in ihrer Studie das Verhältnis zwischen Japanern, Deutschen und Mikronesiern. Im Gegensatz zur vorherigen Kolonialmacht Deutschland war Japan kein christliches Land. Religion und Bildung wurden nach der japanischen Besetzung auf den Inseln strikt voneinander getrennt. Das Hauptziel der japanischen Erziehungspolitik war die Verbreitung der japanischen Sprache und die Japanisierung Mikronesiens, weshalb die Japaner vor Ort die propagandistische Theorie einer gleichen Rassenzugehörigkeit von Japanern und Mikronesien verbreiteten, um die Insulaner leichter in die japanische Gesellschaft zu integrieren. Dennoch wurde die deutsche christliche Missionstätigkeit während des Kriegs durch die Japaner toleriert. Erst nach Kriegsende wurden die deutschen katholischen Missionare durch spanische Jesuiten und die deutsche protestantische Liebenzeller Mission durch eine protestantische Missionsgesellschaft aus Japan (Nan'yo Dendo dan) ersetzt.Bei ihren umfangreichen Quellenrecherchen entdeckte Maezawa u. a. einen sehr kritischen Bericht des japanischen Außenministeriums über die japanische Kolonialpolitik in Mikronesien und veröffentlicht diesen zum ersten Mal. Er dokumentiert Übergriffe von körperlicher Gewalt sowie Vergewaltigungen und gilt als die einzige Quelle, in der Japaner das Benehmen ihrer Landsleute detailliert negativ darstellten.

    Abstract: How can traditions be subversive? The kinship between African traditions and novels has been under debate for the better part of a century, but the conversation has stagnated because of a slowness to question the terms on which it is based: orality vs. writing, tradition vs. modernity, epic vs. novel. These rigid binaries were, in fact, invented by colonialism and cemented by postcolonial identity politics. Thanks to this entrenched paradigm, far too much ink has been poured into the so-called Great Divide between oral and writing societies, and to the long-lamented decline of the ways of old. Given advances in social science and humanities research—studies in folklore, performance, invented traditions, colonial and postcolonial ethnography, history, and pop culture—the moment is right to rewrite this calcified literary history. This book is not another story of subverted traditions, but of subversive ones. West African epics like Sunjata, Samori, and Lat-Dior offer a space from which to think about, and criticize, the issues of today, just as novels in European languages do. Through readings of documented performances and major writers like Yambo Ouologuem and Amadou Hampâté Bâ of Mali, Ahmadou Kourouma of Ivory Coast, and Aminata Sow Fall and Boubacar Boris Diop of Senegal, this book conducts an entirely new analysis of West African oral epic and its relevance to contemporary world literature.

    Abstract: "By the time the "Scramble for Africa" among European colonial powers began in the late nineteenth century, Africa had already been globally connected for centuries. Its gold had fueled the economies of Europe and the Islamic world for nearly a millennium, and the sophisticated kingdoms spanning its west coast had traded with Europeans since the fifteenth century. Until at least 1650, this was a trade of equals, using a variety of currencies—most importantly, cowrie shells imported from the Maldives and nzimbu shells imported from Brazil. But, as the slave trade grew, African kingdoms began to lose prominence in the growing global economy. We have been living with the effects of this shift ever since. " --- provided by the publisher

    Abstract: By presenting a history of Western ethnography of animism in East Timor during the Portuguese period, this intriguing study offers an original synthesis of the country`s history, culture and anthropology. The book consists of ten chapters, each one a narrative of the work and experience of a particular ethnographer. Covering a selection of seminal 19th- and 20th-century ethnographies, the author explores the relationship between spiritual beliefs, colonial administration, ethnographic interests and fieldwork experience. It is argued that the presence of outsiders precipitated a new `transformative animism` as colonial control over Portuguese Timor was consolidated. This came about because increasingly powerful outsiders posed threats and offered rewards to the Timorese just as the powerful ancestor spirits had long done; consequently, the Timorese ritualised their dealings with outsiders following their established model for appealing to spirits. Bringing colonial and professional ethnography into the one frame of reference, it is shown that ethnographers of both types not only bore witness to these processes of transformative animism, they also exemplified them.

    Abstract: "Centré sur l`ethnologie française des années 1930-1960, enrichi de deux articles consacrés à Jomo Kenyatta et James Mooney, ce Carnet de Bérose revient sur la question, aujourd`hui encore brûlante, des relations entre anthropologie et colonialisme. Ce qui fut l`un des enjeux majeurs de l`histoire des sciences humaines et sociales au vingtième siècle le demeure au vingt-et-unième. À partir d`une série d`essais biographiques mettant la focale sur l`ethnologue engagé dans un terrain colonial précis et daté, un tel ouvrage souhaite combler une attente au sein du monde éditorial francophone. Nous renouons ainsi avec les questions posées par Leiris à sa communauté professionnelle en 1950 : comment les ethnologues assument-ils leur implication dans le système colonial ? Comment s`articulent l`expérience ethnographique et les responsabilités de l`anthropologue vis-à-vis du colonialisme ? Pour cette génération d`anthropologues qui ont partagé l`expérience d`un même monde en rupture, en résistance et en mouvement, confrontés aux guerres coloniales, à leurs propres désenchantements et ambivalences, l`aventure de l`ethnologie fait place rapidement à une ethnologie « pratique », impliquée et appliquée, qui met au défi leur positionnement savant et politique. Michel Leiris, Georges Balandier, Charles Le Cœur, Jacques Berque, Jacques Soustelle, Pierre Bourdieu, Paul Mus, Georges Condominas, Maurice Leenhardt, Jean Guiart, Paul Hazoumé, Fily Dabo Sissoko, ou encore Jomo Kenyatta et James Mooney : autant d`ethnologues apprentis aux prises avec une pluralité de situations coloniales à chaque fois singulières obligeant à nuancer la vision parfois monolithique du rapport savoir/pouvoir."

    Abstract: In February 1937, following an abortive attack by a handful of insurgents on Mussolini's High Command in Italian-occupied Ethiopia, 'repression squads' of armed Blackshirts and Fascist civilians were unleashed on the defenceless residents of Addis Ababa. In three terror-filled days and nights of arson, murder and looting, thousands of innocent and unsuspecting men, women and children were roasted alive, shot, bludgeoned, stabbed to death, or blown to pieces with hand-grenades. Meanwhile the notorious Viceroy Rodolfo Graziani, infamous for his atrocities in Libya, took the opportunity to add to the carnage by eliminating the intelligentsia and nobility of the ancient Ethiopian empire in a pogrom that swept across the land. In a richly illustrated and ground-breaking work backed up by meticulous and scholarly research, Ian Campbell reconstructs and analyses one of Fascist Italy's least known atrocities, which he estimates eliminated 19-20 per cent of the capital's population. He exposes the hitherto little known cover-up conducted at the highest levels of the British government, which enabled the facts of one of the most hideous civilian massacres of all time to be concealed, and the perpetrators to walk free.

    Abstract: Ethnologie als spekulative Metaphysik: Nach seinen Feldforschungen bei den Araweté im Norden Brasiliens entwirft Eduardo Viveiros de Castro in Anknüpfung an Claude Lévi-Strauss, Gilles Deleuze und Félix Guattari einen »Anti-Narziss« als begriffliche Kriegsmaschine. So werden Kannibalismus, Multinaturalismus und Perspektivismus als neue Bilder des Denkens mobilisiert, als Bilder eines anderen Denkens, das es ermöglicht, die noch immer vom Erbe des Kolonialismus heimgesuchte ethnologische Anthropologie als »Theorie und Praxis der permanenten Dekolonisierung des Denkens« philosophisch neu zu entwerfen.

    Abstract: "The early collections from Africa in Liverpool's World Museum reflect the city's longstanding shipping and commercial links with Africa's Atlantic coast. A principal component of these collections is an assemblage of several thousand artefacts from western Africa that were transported to institutions in northwest England between 1894 and 1916 by the Liverpool steam ship engineer Arnold Ridyard. While Ridyard's collecting efforts can be seen to have been shaped by the steamers' dynamic capacity to connect widely separated people and places, his Methodist credentials were fundamental in determining the profile of his African networks, because they meant that he was not part of official colonial authority in West Africa. Kingdon's study uncovers the identities of many of Ridyard's numerous West African collaborators and discusses their interests and predicaments under the colonial dispensation. Against this background account, their agendas are examined with reference to surviving narratives that accompanied their donations and within the context of broader processes of trans-imperial exchange, through which they forged new identities and statuses for themselves and attempted to counter expressions of British cultural imperialism in the region. The study concludes with a discussion of the competing meanings assigned to the Ridyard assemblage by the Liverpool Museum and examines the ways in which its re-contextualization in museum contexts helped to efface signs of the energies and narratives behind its creation."--Publisher's website

    Abstract: Das Auffälligste am Streit um das Humboldt Forum ist der Streit selbst. Er will nicht enden. Es ist wohl Ironie der Geschichte, dass ausgerechnet jene völkerkundlichen Sammlungen, die am weitesten von der ungeliebten preußisch-deutschen Vergangenheit wegführen sollten, den Konflikt am Ende doch wieder nach Hause brachten. Denn jetzt wird über die koloniale Verantwortung gestritten und die Frage der Restitution der Objekte. In all diesen Debatten haben sich die Historiker zu Wort gemeldet, die Kunstwissenschaftler, die Museumsfachleute, die Politiker und nicht zuletzt die Kritiker der nachkolonialen Verhältnisse schlechthin. Nur von denen, die sich von Berufs wegen am besten mit den in Rede stehenden Sammlungen auskennen, von den Ethnologen, war erstaunlich wenig zu hören.

    Abstract: Weltweit versuchen Künstler*innen, Designer*innen, Kurator*innen, Aktivist*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen koloniale Archive, Sammlungen und Wissensbestände aufzuarbeiten, aufzulösen, zu rekontextualisieren und zu dekolonialisieren. Sie leisten damit einen epistemischen Ungehorsam, dessen Widerstand im Aufzeigen alternativer Umgangsweisen mit Dingen und dem Entwickeln von widerspenstigen Narrativen für Gegenwart und Zukunft besteht.Dieser Band bündelt theoretische Aufsätze, Interviews und experimentelle Essays, welche die Herausforderungen, Ziele und Potentiale antikolonialer Kulturarbeit aufzeigen.

    Abstract: Bei dieser "Kleinen (Heimat)Geschichte des Rassismus" handelt es sich um das erste Buch überhaupt, dass die Entwicklung des Rassismus gezielt aus deutscher Perspektive beleuchtet. Der Herausbildung des an Hautfarben orientierten Rassismus wird dabei ebenso nachgegangen, wie dem Antisemitismus, Antiislamismus, Antislawismus, Antiziganismus und eugenischem Denken.Erst im Verlauf des europäischen Kolonialismus entstanden Formen der Herabminderung, die mit bestimmten Hautfarben verknüpft waren. Sie mündeten schließlich in die von der Aufklärung entwickelte Rassentheorie, wobei deutsche Denker eine bedeutende Rolle spielten. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Rassedenken durch antikoloniale Bewegungen, Bürgerrechtskämpfe und schließlich durch Vernetzungen im Rahmen der Globalisierung zwar diskreditiert, die Entwicklung des Antisemitismus, der als Fremdenfeindlichkeit bezeichnete Rassismus gegen Migranten und schließlich der Antiislamismus zeigen jedoch, dass damit der Rassismus nicht am Ende ist, sondern sich wieder verstärkt jener kulturellen Elemente der Diskriminierung bedient, die er schon in seinen Anfängen benutzt hatte.

    Abstract: Allan Greer examines the processes by which forms of land tenure emerged and natives were dispossessed from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries in New France (Canada), New Spain (Mexico), and New England. By focusing on land, territory, and property, he deploys the concept of 'property formation' to consider the ways in which Europeans and their Euro-American descendants remade New World space as they laid claim to the continent's resources, extended the reach of empire, and established states and jurisdictions for themselves. Challenging long-held, binary assumptions of property as a single entity, which various groups did or did not possess, Greer highlights the diversity of indigenous and Euro-American property systems in the early modern period. The book's geographic scope, comparative dimension, and placement of indigenous people on an equal plane with Europeans makes it unlike any previous study of early colonization and contact in the Americas.

    Abstract: This pioneering book explores the meaning of the term "Black social economy," a self-help sector that remains autonomous from the state and business sectors. With the Western Hemisphere`s ignoble history of enslavement and violence towards African peoples, and the strong anti-black racism that still pervades society, the African diaspora in the Americas has turned to alternative practices of socio-economic organization. Conscientious and collective organizing is thus a means of creating meaningful livelihoods. In this volume, fourteen scholars explore the concept of the "Black social economy," bringing together innovative research on the lived experience of Afro-descendants in business and society in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, and the United States. The case studies in this book feature horrific legacies of enslavement, colonization, and racism, and they recount the myriad ways that persons of African heritage have built humane alternatives to the dominant market economy that excludes them. Together, they shed necessary light on the ways in which the Black race has been overlooked in the social economy literature.

    Abstract: In the wake of radical Islamist terrorist attacks described as jihad worldwide and in South Asia, it is imperative that there should be a book-length study of this idea in this part of the world. The focus of the study is the idea of jihad with its changing interpretations mostly those available in exegetical literature of key figures in South Asia. The hermeneutic devices used to understand the meaning of the Quranic verses and the Prophetic traditions relating to jihad will be the focus of this study. The main thrust of the study is to understand how interpretations of jihad vary. It is seen as being both defensive and aggressive by traditionalists; only defensive and mainly about moral improvement by progressive Muslims; and being insurrectionist, aggressive, eternal and justifying violence against civilians by radical Islamists. One purpose of the book is to understand how the radical interpretation came to South Asia. The book also explains how theories about jihad are influenced by the political and social circumstances of the period and how these insights feed into practice legitimizing militant movements called jihad for that period [Verlagstext].

    Abstract: The Bounty from the Beach is a collection of cross-disciplinary essays, capitalising on a widely shared fascination for the Bounty story in order to draw scholarly attention to Oceania. It aims to reorient the Bounty focus away from the West, where most Bounty narratives and studies have emerged, to the Pacific, where most of the original events unfolded. It investigates the Bounty heritage from the standpoint of the beach, Greg Dening`s metaphor for culture contact and conflict in the Pacific Islands: this liminal place that transforms Islanders and voyagers, islands and ships, each time it is crossed. It analyses the way newcomers create new islands, and how these changes may occasionally impact the world. This volume examines the `little people`, to use another of Dening`s expressions, who stand `on both sides of the beach`: they are Polynesian or European or, as beaches are crossed and remade, no longer one without the other, but bound together in processes of change. Among these people are Bounty sailors, beachcombers, Pitcairners and indigenous Pacific Islanders of the past and the present.This collection also explores the works of some renowned Western writers and actors who, turning mutineers after their own fashion and in their own times, themselves crossed the beach and attempted to illuminate the `little people` involved in the Bounty narratives. These prominent writers and actors put the spotlight on characters who were silenced on account of race, class or geographical distance from the dominant centres of power. Inspired by Dening`s empowering voice, our purpose is to fill that silence.Just as it criss-crosses the ocean, progressing with the ship through time and space, The Bounty from the Beach ranges far and wide across disciplines, methodologies and scholarly styles. Its multidisciplinary course contributes to illuminate the multiple ways in which the Bounty heritage embraces diverse horizons. It throws light on the colonial discourse that undertook to stifle Pacific Islander agency, and the neocolonial policies that have been applied to Oceania, and still are: hegemonic moves that have led to global environmental, nuclear and ecological hazards. As a whole, the collection contends that what unfolds in this vast ocean matters: the stakes are high for the whole human community. (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: "From 1998 through 2013, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs sought to develop a casino in Cascade Locks, Oregon. This prompted objections from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, who already operated a lucrative casino in the region. Brook Colley's in-depth case study unravels the history of this disagreement and challenges the way conventional media characterizes intertribal casino disputes in terms of corruption and greed. Instead, she locates these conflicts within historical, social, and political contexts of colonization. Through extensive interviews, Colley brings to the forefront Indigenous perspectives on intertribal conflict related to tribal gaming. She reveals how casino economies affect the relationship between gaming tribes and federal and state governments, and the repercussions for the tribes themselves. Ultimately, Colley's engaging examination explores strategies for reconciliation and cooperation, emphasizing narratives of resilience and tribal sovereignty"--

    Abstract: In the scramble for Africa, Britain took a lion`s share of the continent. It occupied and controlled vast territories, including the Uganda Protectorate - which it ruled for 68 years. Early administrators in the region encountered the progressive kingdom of Buganda, which they incorporated into the British Empire. Under the guise of protection, indirect rule and patronage, Britain overran, plundered and disempowered the kingdom`s traditional institutions. On liquidation of the Empire, Buganda was coaxed into a problematic political order largely dictated from London. Today, 56 years after independence, the kingdom struggles to rediscover itself within Uganda`s fragile politics. Based on newly de-classified records, this book reconstructs a history of the machinations underpinning British imperial interests in (B)Uganda and the personalities who embodied colonial rule. It addresses Anglo-Uganda relations, demonstrating how Uganda`s politics reflects its colonial past, and the forces shaping its future. It is a far-reaching examination of British rule in (B)uganda, questioning whether it was designed for protection, for patronage or for plunder.

    Abstract: Asylum seekers are not welcome in Europe. But why is that the case? For many scholars, the policies have become more restrictive over recent decades because the asylum seekers have changed. This change is often said to be about numbers, methods of travel, and reasons for flight. In short: we are in an age of hypermobility and states cannot cope with such volumes of `others`.This book presents an alternative view, drawing on theoretical insights from Third World Approaches to International Law, post- and decolonial studies, and presenting new research on the context of the British Empire. The text highlights the fact that since the early 1990s, for the first time, the majority of asylum seekers originate from countries outside of Europe, countries which until 30-60 years ago were under colonial rule. Policies which address asylum seekers must, the book argues, be understood not only as part of a global hypermobile present, but within the context of colonial histories.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction - The asylum "problem" - Decolonising the "problem" : an alternative standpoint for analysing the exclusionary politics of asylum - Slavery and the right to be human - Colonialism, the League of Nations and race equality - The United Nations and the right to be human - Dehumanization : asylum seeker support in the twenty-first century - Asylum after empire.

    Abstract: The Lives of Stories traces three stories of Aboriginal-settler friendships that intersect with the ways in which Australians remember founding national stories, build narratives for cultural revival, and work on reconciliation and self-determination. These three stories, which are still being told with creativity and commitment by storytellers today, are the story of James Morrill's adoption by Birri-Gubba people and re-adoption 17 years later into the new colony of Queensland, the story of Bennelong and his relationship with Governor Phillip and the Sydney colonists, and the story of friendship between Wiradjuri leader Windradyne and the Suttor family. Each is an intimate story about people involved in relationships of goodwill, care, adoptive kinship and mutual learning across cultures, and the strains of maintaining or relinquishing these bonds as they took part in the larger events that signified the colonisation of Aboriginal lands by the British. Each is a story in which cross-cultural understanding and misunderstanding are deeply embedded, and in which the act of storytelling itself has always been an engagement in cross-cultural relations. The Lives of Stories reflects on the nature of story as part of our cultural inheritance, and seeks to engage the reader in becoming more conscious of our own effect as history-makers as we retell old stories with new meanings in the present, and pass them on to new generations.

    Abstract: Das Ende des deutschen Kolonialreichs mobilisierte in der Weimarer Republik und der ehemaligen Kolonie Südwestafrika mehrheitlich revisionistische Aktivitäten. Welche Rolle nahm dabei die junge Generation ein? Koloniale Jugendgruppen widersetzten sich Instrumentalisierungsversuchen durch Erwachsene, indem sie unter Bezugnahme auf die bündische Jugend eigene nationalistische Visionen und Handlungsorientierungen entwickelten. Gleichzeitig nutzten deutsche Siedlernachkommen ihre Bildungsaufenthalte in Deutschland eher für individuelle Ziele, statt sich der Kolonialrevision zu verpflichten.Aus akteurszentrierter Perspektive zeichnet Susanne Heyn ein beziehungsgeschichtliches Bild dieser ersten postkolonialen Phase. Sie reflektiert die Grenzen des Weimarer Kolonialrevisionismus und arbeitet die disparaten Zukunftsvorstellungen von Jung und Alt sowie von Kolonialbewegung und deutschen Siedlerfamilien heraus.

    Abstract: How realistic is it to expect translation to render the world intelligible in a context shaped by different historical trajectories and experiences? Can we rely on human universals to translate through the unique and specific webs of meaning that languages represent? If knowledge production is a kind of translation, then it is fair to assume that the possibility of translation has largely rested on the idea that Western experience is the repository of these human universals against the background of which different human experiences can be rendered intelligible. The problem with this assumption, however, is that there are limits to Western claims to universalism, mainly because these claims were at the service of the desire to justify imperial expansion. This book addresses issues arising from these claims to universalism in the process of producing knowledge about diverse African social realities. It shows that the idea of knowledge production as translation can be usefully deployed to inquire into how knowledge of Africa translates into an imperial attempt at changing local norms, institutions and spiritual values. Translation, in this sense, is the normalization of meanings issuing from a local historical experience claiming to be universal. The task of producing knowledge of African social realities cannot be adequately addressed without a prior critical engagement with how translation has come to shape our ways of rendering Africa intelligible.

    Abstract: From the earliest moments of European contact, Native Americans have played a pivotal role in the Atlantic experience, yet they often have been relegated to the margins of the region's historical record. The Red Atlantic, Jace Weaver's sweeping and highly readable survey of history and literature, synthesizes scholarship to place indigenous people of the Americas at the center of our understanding of the Atlantic world. Weaver illuminates their willing and unwilling travels through the region, revealing how they changed the course of world history.Indigenous Americans, Weaver shows, crossed the Atlantic as royal dignitaries, diplomats, slaves, laborers, soldiers, performers, and tourists. And they carried resources and knowledge that shaped world civilization--from chocolate, tobacco, and potatoes to terrace farming and suspension bridges. Weaver makes clear that indigenous travelers were cosmopolitan agents of international change whose engagement with other societies gave them the tools to advocate for their own sovereignty even as it was challenged by colonialism.

    Abstract: Claimed by many to be the most frequently documented artifact in American archeology, Dighton Rock is a forty-ton boulder covered in petroglyphs in southern Massachusetts. First noted by New England colonists in 1680, the rock's markings have been debated endlessly by scholars and everyday people alike on both sides of the Atlantic. The glyphs have been erroneously assigned to an array of non-Indigenous cultures: Norsemen, Egyptians, Lost Tribes of Israel, vanished Portuguese explorers, and even a prince from Atlantis. In this fascinating story rich in personalities and memorable characters, Douglas Hunter uses Dighton Rock to reveal the long, complex history of colonization, American archaeology, and the conceptualization of Indigenous people. Hunter argues that misinterpretations of the rock's markings share common motivations and have erased Indigenous people not only from their own history, but from the landscape. He shows how Dighton Rock for centuries drove ideas about the original peopling of the Americas, including Bering Strait migration scenarios and the identity of the ""Mound Builders."" He argues the debates over Dighton Rock have served to answer two questions: Who belongs in America, and to whom does America belong?

    Abstract: In the last decade an Iraqi Army and an Afghan National Army were created entirely from scratch, the founding of which was deemed to be a crucial measure for the establishment of security and the withdrawal of Western forces from Iraq and Afghanistan. Raising new armies is always problematic, especially during an insurgency, but doing so outside the sovereignty of one's own state raises questions of legality, concerns about their conduct and the risk of an over-empowered local military. The recruitment of proxies, including former insurgents, or the arming of local fighters and auxiliaries, levies and militias, may also exacerbate an internal security situation. In seeking answers to this conundrum Rob Johnson turns to history. His book sets out how recruitment of local auxiliaries was an essential component of European colonialism, and how, in the transfer of power and security at the end of that colonial era, the raising of local forces using existing Western models became the norm. He then offers a comprehensive survey of the post-colonial legacy, particularly the recent utilisation of surrogates and auxiliaries, the work of embedded training teams, and mentoring.

    Keywords: Europa Imperialismus ; Expansion ; Kolonialismus ; Gewalt ; militärischer Einsatz ; Krieg
    Abstract: Western interventions today have much in common with the countless violent conflicts that have occurred on Europe's periphery since the conquest of the Americas in the sixteenth century. Like their predecessors, modern imperial wars are shaped especially by spatial features and by pronounced asymmetries of military organisation, resources, modes of warfare and cultures of violence between the respective parties. Today's imperial wars are essentially civil wars, in which Western powers are only one player among many. As ever, the Western military machine is proving incapable of resolving political strife through force, or of engaging opponents with no reason to offer conventional combat, who instead rely on guerrilla warfare and terrorism. And, as they always have, local populations pay the price for these shortcomings.Colonial Violence aims to offer, for the first time, a coherent explanation of the logic of violent hostilities within the context of European expansion. Walter's analysis reveals parallels between different empires and continuities spanning historical epochs. He concludes that recent Western military interventions, from Afghanistan to Mali, are not new wars, but stand in the 500-year-old tradition of transcultural violent conflict, under the specific conditions of colonialism.

    Note: Inhaltstext: While the sovereign nation-state is considered the world's political norm, millions of colonial subjects, immigrants, refugees, and native peoples appear to be without sovereignty. What claims have they to sovereignty? If they cannot ever constitute themselves into sovereign nation-states, are they out of the political game? Can a framework like sovereignty—used historically to exploit, dispossess, and even exterminate people—be a part of a struggle for political freedom? Editor Frances Negrón-Muntaner and the contributors to Sovereign Acts engage in a debate around these questions with surprising results. Moving the idea of sovereignty beyond the narrow confines of the nation-state, beyond the concept of a power that one either has or lacks, this paradigm-­shifting work examines the multiple ways that Indigenous nations and U.S. territorial peoples act as sovereign and the possible limits of such sovereign acts within the current globalized context. A valuable contribution to the debate around indigenous and other conceptions of sovereignty, Sovereign Acts goes further than legal frameworks to investigate the relationships among sovereignty, gender, sexuality, representation, and the body.From activist style and choreography to the politics of recognition, the scholars and artists featured in this unique volume map out how people disrupt modern notions of sovereignty, attempt to redefine what being sovereign means, or seek alternative political vocabularies. Sovereignty is not only, after all, a kingdom and a crown.

    Keywords: Postkolonialismus Gesellschaft, moderne ; Kolonialismus ; Unberührbarer ; Kunst, asiatische ; Identität ; Anthropologie, soziale
    Abstract: This book thinks through modernity and its representations by exploring critical considerations of time and space. Drawing on anthropology, history and social theory, it investigates the oppositions and enchantments, the contradictions and contentions, and the identities and ambivalences spawned under modernity. Crucially, it understands these antinomies not as errors, but as constitutive elements of modern worlds. The book questions routine portrayals of homogeneous time and antinomian blueprints of cultural space, while acknowledging the production of time and space by social subjects. Instead of assuming a straightforward, singular trajectory for the phenomena, it views modernity as involving checkered, contingent and contended processes of meaning and power, which have found heterogeneous historical elaborations over the past five centuries. Bringing together past and present, theory and narrative, it sows the historical, ethnographic and methodological deep into its critical procedures, offering an innovative understanding of cultural identities and imaginatively exploring the relationship between history and anthropology.

    Abstract: War and Other Means describes and analyses the practices of war, the `objects of war` and the conventions of the use of violence in Houaïlou, New Caledonia. It focuses on the colonial repression conducted in 1856 and after, the anti-sorcerer hunt in 1955, the independence mobilisation in the 1980s and the village feuds in the 2000s. Through this archaeology of violence, it reports on the practical inventiveness, intelligence and cunning of the Kanaks involved in social, often violent, conflicts. The use of archival material and recourse to the oral stories gathered from the inhabitants of Houaïlou restores the depth of these historical moments and the nested contexts of the political action that unfolded; it also questions the value and limits of fieldwork investigation. These episodes are moments of change in the social, administrative, land and political organisation of New Caledonia; they make it possible to understand, from France`s takeover to the present day, the real modalities of implementation of colonial and postcolonial governmentality. The attention given to the invention, the importation or the adaptation of repressive techniques, closely linked to the French experience in Algeria, opens up a geopolitics of colonisation. Through this detailed description of the social logics of conflict, Michel Naepels also invites us to reflect on the place of European fantasies on violence and on the representations of otherness.

    Abstract: During a turbulent colonial and postcolonial century, African women struggled to control their own marital, sexual and economic lives and to gain a significant voice in local and national politics. This book introduces many remarkable women, who organized religious and political movements, fought in anti-colonial wars, ran away to escape arranged marriages, and during the 1990s began successful campaigns for gender parity in national legislatures. The book also explores the apparent paradox in the conflicting images of African women - as singularly oppressed and dominated by men, but also as strong, resourceful, and willing to challenge governments and local traditions to protect themselves and their families. Understanding the tension between women's power and their oppression, between their strength and their vulnerability, offers a new lens for understanding the relationship between the state and society in the twentieth century.
    Description / Table of Contents: Colonizing African families -- Confrontation and adaptation -- Domesticity and modernization -- Mothers of nationalism -- The struggle continues -- "Messengers of a new design": marriage, family and sexuality -- Women's rights: the second decolonization? -- Empowerment and inequality in a new global age -- Contradictions and challenges.

    Abstract: To justify the plundering of todays Democratic Republic of the Congo, U.S. intellectual elites have continuously produced dismissive Congo discourses. Tracing these discourses in great depth and breadth for the first time, Johnny Van Hove shows how U.S. intellectuals (and their influential European counterparts) have been using the Congo in similar fashions for their own goals. Analyzing intellectuals as diverse as W.E.B. Du Bois, Joseph Conrad, and David Van Reybrouck, the book offers a theorization of Central West Africa, a case study of normalized narratives on the »Other«, and a stirring wake up call for all contemporary writers on international history and politics.

    Abstract: Die vorliegende Studie analysiert kolonialpädagogische Schriften in der NS-Zeit. Anhand der Propaganda für eine Rückgewinnung der nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg verlorenen deutschen Kolonien und der rassistisch begründeten Kritik an den Kolonialerziehungsprogrammen anderer Kolonialmächte wurden rassistische Bilder über Kulturen in Afrika genutzt, um deutsche Kolonialansprüche zu rechtfertigen. Ein wesentliches Resultat dieser Analyse ist, dass es in der NS-Zeit nicht nur eine kolonialrassistische, sondern auch eine als "spezifisch deutsch" beschriebene nationalistische Theorie der Kolonisation gegeben hat.

    Abstract: In Landscapes of Power Dana E. Powell examines the rise and fall of the controversial Desert Rock Power Plant initiative in New Mexico to trace the political conflicts surrounding native sovereignty and contemporary energy development on Navajo (Dine) Nation land. Powell's historical and ethnographic account shows how the coal-fired power plant project's defeat provided the basis for redefining the legacies of colonialism, mineral extraction, and environmentalism. Examining the labor of activists, artists, politicians, elders, technicians, and others, Powell emphasizes the generative potential of Navajo resistance to articulate a vision of autonomy in the face of twenty-first-century colonial conditions. Ultimately, Powell situates local Navajo struggles over energy technology and infrastructure within broader sociocultural life, debates over global climate change, and tribal, federal, and global politics of extraction.Review: "In this masterful study Dana E. Powell weaves a rich narrative that intertwines Navajo leaders' efforts to reverse a depressed economy with the complexities of the political atmosphere, tribal sovereignty, the imperative to address environmental justice and climate change, and Navajo concerns about land use. Landscapes of Power is indispensable to the study of Native nations, their relationships to energy and development projects, and to understanding the Navajo nation's twenty-first-century history." -- Jennifer Nez Denetdale (Dine), University of New Mexico "Expertly tracing the legacy of the thwarted Desert Rock project, Dana E. Powell identifies an ethical project among Navajo activists that signals politics beyond straightforward environmentalism-a politics that matters for Navajo sovereignty, territory, and ethical ways of life, as well as for energy activism and policy everywhere. As with #NoDAPL and Standing Rock, the Desert Rock struggle goes to the core of what politics look like within, across, and in solidarity with Indian Country. This is essential reading." -- Jessica R. Cattelino, author of High Stakes: Florida Seminole Gaming and Sovereignty

    Abstract: Native Colonialism: Education and the Economy of Violence Against Traditions in Ethiopia examines the cause and consequence of native colonialism, the process whereby a country colonises itself with foreign institutions and ideals. Taking Ethiopia as its case study, it asks, why did a country that was never colonised replace its government, legal system and educational institutions with foreign imitations? How did it come to have a European language as its medium of higher education and why was the rich philosophy, literature and history of the country replaced by western knowledge? What is the impact of this process in the identities and daily lives of contemporary Ethiopian students?Based on a synthesis of historical, philosophical and empirical sources, the book delves into Ethiopia`s little-known wealth of traditional knowledge and practices of relating to the world before major historical events triggered subsequent changes in the political life of the country.The book draws its evidence from a variety of Ethiopian sources that have rarely been studied or utilised in academic research. It provides never-before seen interpretations of indigenous sources of knowledge and features ground breaking empirical research on traditional and modern schools in the county, as well as interviews with students, teachers and traditional leaders. The book offers comprehensive and fresh insights into rethinking colonialism, particularly when it is driven from within.

    Abstract: We habitually categorize the world in binary logics of 'animate' and 'inanimate', 'natural' and 'supernatural', 'self' and 'other', 'authentic' and 'inauthentic'. The Inbetweenness of Things rejects such Western classificatory traditions - which tend to categorize objects using bounded notions of period, place and purpose - and argues instead for a paradigm where objects are not one thing or another but a multiplicity of things at once.Adopting an 'object-centred' approach, with contributions from material culture specialists across various disciplines, the book showcases a series of objects that defy neat classification. In the process, it explores how 'things' mediate and travel between conceptual worlds in diverse cultural, geographic and temporal contexts, and how they embody this mediation and movement in their form. With an impressive range of international authors, each essay grounds explorations of cutting-edge theory in concrete case studies.An innovative, thought-provoking read for students and researchers in anthropology, archaeology, museum studies and art history which will transform the way readers think about objects.

    Abstract: In Transculturality and German Discourse in the Age of European Colonialism, Chunjie Zhang examines the South Pacific travel writings of George Forster and Adelbert von Chamisso, literary works by August von Kotzebue and Johann Joachim Campe, Herder's philosophy of history, and Kant's theory of geography from the perspective of non-European impact during the age of Europe's colonial expansion. She explores what these texts show about German and European superiority, the critique of the slave trade, European moral debauchery, acknowledgments of non-European cultural achievements, and sympathy with colonized peoples. Moving beyond the question of empire versus enlightenment, Zhang's book diligently detects global connections, offering much to scholars of literature, culture, and intellectual history.

    Abstract: Ein Vierteljahrhundert nach der Unabhängigkeit steckt Eritrea in einer Krise. Zehntausende junge Menschen verlassen das Land, dem Regimewerden Menschenrechtsverletzungen vorgeworfen, periodisch kommt es zu Scharmützeln mit Äthiopien.Was steckt dahinter? Hans-Ulrich Stauffer kennt Eritrea noch aus der Zeit des Unabhängigkeitskriegs. Die beunruhigenden Entwicklungenhaben ihn dazu bewegt, sich vor Ort erneut einen Eindruck zu verschaffen. Mehrfach war Hans-Ulrich Stauffer in den letzten Jahrenin Eritrea. Über hundert Gespräche hat er geführt, Hintergründe recherchiert.In seinem Buch geht er auf die wechselvolle Geschichte des Landes ein, den dreißigjährigen Befreiungskampf und die goldenen Jahre nachder Unabhängigkeit. Er schildert die Auswirkungen des erneuten Kriegs von 1998/2000 und der Weigerung Äthiopiens, das Schiedsurteildes Internationalen Gerichtshofs zu akzeptieren. Er zeigt, wie die Jahre von »no war - no peace« zu einer innenpolitischen Lähmung undinternationalen Isolation geführt haben.Gelingt dem Land der Schritt aus der Kälte? Welches sind die Schwierigkeiten, welches die Chancen? Erstmals liegt eine aktuelle Aufarbeitung der jüngsten Geschichte des Landes vor.

    Abstract: In the heart of the Pacific Ocean, Hawai`i exists at a global crosscurrent of indigeneity and race, homeland and diaspora, nation and globalization, sovereignty and imperialism. In order to better understand how settler colonialism works and thus move decolonization efforts forward, Staking Claim analyzes competing claims of identity, belonging, and political status in Hawai`i. Author Judy Rohrer brings together an analysis of racial formation and colonization in the islands through a study of legal cases, contemporary public discourse (local media and literature), and Hawai`i scholarship. Her analysis exposes how racialization works to obscure—with the ultimate goal of eliminating—native Hawaiian indigeneity, homeland, nation, and sovereignty.

    Abstract: Der Band `AnOther Africa?` untersucht Afrikaimaginationen im russischen, polnischen und deutschen Kontext vor dem Hintergrund postkolonialer Theoriebildung und Ansätzen der Verflechtungsgeschichte. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Afrikarepräsentationen in Literatur, Film und (Populär-)Kultur vom 19. Jahrhundert bis heute. Die slavistischen und germanistischen Beiträge machen deutlich, dass sich die historisch und kulturell vielfach miteinander verschränkten kulturellen Dispositive in der Darstellung des Anderen niederschlagen. Afrika fungiert dabei bis heute als Projektionsfläche innergesellschaftlicher Aushandlungsprozesse, dessen Aneignung man sich aber gleichzeitig in zunehmendem Maße bewusst wird und dies auch ästhetisch zu reflektieren sucht. Diesem Prozess ist auch die postkoloniale Theoriebildung unterworfen, die einerseits appropriiert, andererseits in Kunst und Literatur der Gegenwart spielerisch vorgeführt oder gebrochen wird.

    Abstract: Linking four continents over three centuries, Selling Empire demonstrates the centrality of India--both as an idea and a place--to the making of a global British imperial system. In the seventeenth century, Britain was economically, politically, and militarily weaker than India, but Britons increasingly made use of India's strengths to build their own empire in both America and Asia. Early English colonial promoters first envisioned America as a potential India, hoping that the nascent Atlantic colonies could produce Asian raw materials. When this vision failed to materialize, Britain's circulation of Indian manufactured goods--from umbrellas to cottons--to Africa, Europe, and America then established an empire of goods and the supposed good of empire. Eacott recasts the British empire's chronology and geography by situating the development of consumer culture, the American Revolution, and British industrialization in the commercial intersections linking the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. From the seventeenth into the nineteenth century and beyond, the evolving networks, ideas, and fashions that bound India, Britain, and America shaped persisting global structures of economic and cultural interdependence.

    Abstract: Writing boards and blackboards are emblematic of two radically different styles of education in Islam. The essays in this lively volume address various aspects of the expanding and evolving range of educational choices available to Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa. Contributors from the United States, Europe, and Africa evaluate classical Islamic education in Africa from colonial times to the present, including changes in pedagogical methods--from sitting to standing, from individual to collective learning, from recitation to analysis. Also discussed are the differences between British, French, Belgian, and Portuguese education in Africa and between mission schools and Qur'anic schools; changes to the classical Islamic curriculum; the changing intent of Islamic education; the modernization of pedagogical styles and tools; hybrid forms of religious and secular education; the inclusion of women in Qur'anic schools; and the changing notion of what it means to be an educated person in Africa. A new view of the role of Islamic education, especially its politics and controversies in today's age of terrorism, emerges from this broadly comparative volume.

    Abstract: Much has been written about the ravages and evils of Britain`s colonial past; fraud, force and injustice litter the historical landscape on which the nation was built. And this is not just another tome about `man`s inhumanity to man`.What is different about After Slavery: Indian Indentured Labourers is its in-depth exposition of the events and issues - based largely on original and unpublished sources - that informed and shaped the history of indentured immigration to British Guiana. These issues ranged from the state of the economy after the abolition of slavery; the forces that drove many Indians to emigrate; the conditions under which they lived and worked, and their survival against the tyranny of the planters.After Slavery also examines the coping mechanisms and survival strategies many adopted to manage, exploit and profit from the many schemes of control and subterfuge imposed by the colonial authorities. It traces the evolution from servility to political and professional power - a deliberate mental shift that created the platform for their children`s education and to their progressive advancement in the various professions.The slow awakening of Indian Nationalist leaders to the evils of indenture is explored, illustrated by their dogged persistence that broke the resistance of the government against abolishing the system of indentured labour.

    Abstract: Ethnicity and the Colonial State analyses, through a comparison of three West African communities (Wolof, Temne, and Ewe), the ways in which ethnic labels and arguments are used (or omitted) in dealings with colonial administrations. It follows these strategies and choices over more than a century, between the conquest periods and independence. Where state structures were weak as a factor of group cohesion, ethnic arguments were especially likely to come into play. The analysis discusses internal fissures and conflicting interests within the communities as other incentives for ethnic coalition-building. The observations made in this book are put into the context of a global historical perspective, for which "ethnicity" has so far remained a badly defined concept.

    Abstract: In the past decades historians have interpreted early modern Christian missions not simply as an adjunct to Western imperialism, but a privileged field for cross-cultural encounters. Placing the Jesuit missions into a global phenomenon that emphasizes economic and cultural relations between Europe and the East, this book analyzes the possibilities and limitations of the religious conversion in the Micronesian islands of Guahan (or Guam) and the Northern Marianas. Frontiers are not rigid spatial lines separating culturally different groups of people, but rather active agents in the transformation of cultures. By bringing this local dimension to the fore, the book adheres to a process of missionary "glocalization" which allowed Chamorros to enter the international community as members of Spain's regional empire and the global communion of the Roman Catholic Church.

    Abstract: The School of Oriental and African Studies, a college of the University of London, was established in 1916 principally to train the colonial administrators who ran the British Empire in the languages of Asia and Africa. It was founded, that is, with an explicitly imperial purpose. Yet the School would come to transcend this function to become a world centre of scholarship and learning, in many important ways challenging that imperial origin. Drawing on the School's own extensive administrative records, on interviews with current and past staff, and on the records of government departments, Ian Brown explores the work of the School over its first century. He considers the expansion in the School's configuration of studies from the initial focus on languages, its changing relationships with government, and the major contributions that have been made by the School to scholarly and public understandings of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction; 1. 'Long contemplated and too long delayed': the founding of the School; 2. 'Partly a research institution and partly a vocational training centre': 1917-38; 3. The war years, 1939-45; 4. The great post-war expansion; 5. Expansion into the social sciences; 6. The great contraction; 7. The 1990s: renewed expansion but unresolved issues; 8. The past in the present; Bibliography; Index

    Abstract: "This edited volume examines the experience of World War I of small nations, defined here in terms of their relative weakness vis-a`-vis the major actors in European diplomacy, and colonial peripheries, encompassing areas that were subject to colonial rule by European empires and thus located far from the heartland of these empires. The chapters address subject nations within Europe, such as Ireland and Poland; neutral states, such as Sweden and Spain; and overseas colonies like Tunisia, Algeria and German East Africa. By combining analyses of both European and extra-European experiences of war, this collection of essays provides a unique comparative perspective on World War I and points the way towards an integrated history of small nations and colonial peripheries. Contributors are Steven Balbirnie, Gearo´id Barry, Jens Boysen, Ingrid Bru¨hwiler, William Buck, AUde Chanson, Enrico Dal Lago, Matias Gardin, Richard Gow, Florian Grafl, Do´nal Hassett, Guido Hausmann, Ro´isi´n Healy, Conor Morrissey, Michael Neiberg, David Noack, Chris Rominger, Danielle Ross and Christine Strotmann"--Provided by publisher.

    Abstract: Die deutsche Kolonialzeit war kurz, doch sie hat Spuren hinterlassen. Wie soll heute, in der »postkolonialen« Zeit, mit diesem Erbe umgegangen werden? Dieser Band liefert einen Überblick über das Thema Kolonialismus und stellt die umfangreiche ethnografische Sammlung des Landesmuseums Hannover aus den deutschen Kolonien vor. Die dazu erarbeiteten Sammlerbiografien erlauben Einblicke in die unterschiedlichen Erwerbsumstände. Dabei werden Fachgrenzen überschritten, wenn Sammler beispielsweise neben völkerkundlichen auch naturkundliche Objekte mitbrachten. Geschichtswissenschaft und Provenienzforschung tragen außerdem zu einem vielschichtigen Bild bei. Dem Thema des heutigen Umgangs mit dem Kolonialismus nähert sich der Band auf ungewöhnliche Weise. Zeitgenössische Positionen aus HawaÏ und Rapanui zeugen vom Widerstand der jeweiligen indigenen Bevölkerungen gegen aktuelle Abhängigkeitsverhältnisse. Das Projekt »Heikles Erbe« markiert eine neue Sicht auf die völkerkundlichen Objekte in den Sammlungen des Landesmuseums.
