    Abstract: In 1724-1726, the Dutch clergyman François Valentyn published a 5,000-page account of the Dutch East India Company's empire. It was the first and, for a long time, the only survey of the Dutch establishments in Asia and South Africa. Shaping a Dutch East Indies analyses how Valentyn composed this work and how it largely determined the Dutch perspective on the colonies in Asia until the 1850s. It seeks to highlight both the great diversity of knowledge gathered in Valentyn's book and its geographical spread, from the Cape of Good Hope to Japan, with a focus on the Indonesian archipelago. Huigen's book is the first in-depth study of Valentyn's work, which is a foundational text in the history of Dutch colonialism. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: Vor mehr als einem Jahrhundert wurden in ethnologischen Museen komplexe Formen rassistischer und religiöser Diskriminierung institutionalisiert, z.B. in den dort gültigen Ästhetik- und Kunstbegriffen. Viele der heutigen Museumsangestellten erklären sich deswegen zu Reformen bereit. Doch können sie sich tatsächlich vom Kolonialismus trennen? Ist eine Dekolonisation ethnologischer Museen mit kolonialer Beute je abschließend möglich? Am Beispiel umstrittener Heiligtümer lebender Kulturen untersucht Christoph Balzar das Verfahren der Musealisierung durch die Linse der Diskriminierungskritik. Im Fokus stehen dabei die Sammlungen der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin. (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: Ein Buch für Interessenten der Geschichte christlicher Missionen in Afrika und ihrer Auswirkung auf die Missionarsfamilien im zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext von Kolonialismus und Rassismus. Diese Biographie erzählt vom Schreinergesellen, der sich entschließt, Missionar in Afrika zu werden und von militärischer Disziplin in der pietistischen Ausbildung bei der Basler Mission. Aus seinem reichhaltigen Nachlass und wird lebendig, wie er mit hohen Idealen von 1889-1914 auf der Goldküste in der Heidenmission wirkte, wie er mit europäischen Vorurteilen die traditionelle Kultur und Religion entwertete und als Leiter einer Missionsschule eine strenge Hand in der Erziehung führte. Krankheit und Tod im mörderischen Tropenklima, die Rolle der Missionarsfrau als ''Hüterin der Seele'' und die Folgen der Trennung für die in Europa erzogenen Kindern prägen die private Lebenssituation. Die Welt der Basler Mission wird lebendig mit ihren heute undenkbaren Regeln des evangelischen Zölibats und der Heiratsvermittlung durch den Missionsvorstand. Aus Zeitdokumenten werden im zweiten Teil die historischen Rahmenbedingungen sichtbar: Der weitverbreitete Rassismus, die Gewalttätigkeit in den deutschen Kolonien und die zwiespältige Rolle der Missionen. Die Ausplünderung Afrikas setzt sich heute mit neuen Methoden im neokolonialen System fort. Die Perspektive von Betroffenen kommt in Beiträgen von Protagonisten des antikolonialen Widerstandes zu Wort ebenso wie die Zukunftsvisionen afrikanischer Autoren. ''Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt auf dramatische Weise, wie der Einsatz für die Mission in Übersee sich auf eine Familie auswirkte und noch über Generationen nachwirkt. Wie sollte der Autor mit der Stimme des Missionars und Patriarchen umgehen, die uns immer wieder die Haare zu Berge stehen lässt? Den Entscheid, Christian Kölle möglichst selber sprechen zu lassen, nicht zu kaschieren, sondern seine Stimme den nachfolgenden Generationen zugänglich zu machen, erachte ich als richtig''.

    Abstract: Even leaving aside the vast death and suffering that it wrought on indigenous populations, German ambitions to transform Southwest Africa in the early part of the twentieth century were futile for most. For years colonists wrestled ocean waters, desert landscapes, and widespread aridity as they tried to reach inland in their effort of turning outwardly barren lands into a profitable settler colony. In his innovative environmental history, Martin Kalb outlines the development of the colony up to World War I, deconstructing the common settler narrative, all to reveal the importance of natural forces and the Kaisereich`s everyday violence.

    Abstract: Diamond Warriors in Colonial Namibia enters into unchartered scholarly territory of illegal diamond smuggling at the largest diamond mining company in colonial Namibia—De Beers` Consolidated Diamond Mines of South West Africa (CDM). It details the underground activities of the natives (migrant workers) employed by the CDM and how these illicit activities accounted for rapid development in Owamboland. Beyond this account, the book takes on the deterministic `natural resource curse` theory that equates natural resource endowments to a curse resulting in underdevelopment and sometimes conflict. It is argued and proven herein, from a decolonial standpoint, that such an approach is an oversimplification of the political economy of natural resources in Africa in general and Namibia in particular. The text also provides a contextual account of the contract labour system and details the symbiotic relationship between CDM and the colonial state before highlighting the remaining unanswered questions and areas of further research.

    Abstract: Au début du XXe siècle, quatre-vingts militaires français accompagnés de six cents tirailleurs envahissent deux puissantes villes du Sahara et du Sahel. La France, comme plusieurs autres pays européens, considère alors les territoires africains comme des espaces à s'approprier. Elle se substitue par la force aux gouvernements existants, au nom d'une supériorité civilisationnelle fondée sur le racisme. Depuis le cœur de ces deux villes, grâce à une documentation exceptionnelle, Camille Lefebvre examine comment s'est imposée la domination coloniale. Militaires français, tirailleurs, mais aussi les sultans et leur cour, les lettrés et les savants de la région, sans oublier l'immense masse de la population, de statut servile ou libre, hommes et femmes : tous reprennent vie, dans l'épaisseur et la complexité de leurs relations. Leur histoire révèle la profondeur des mondes sociaux en présence ; elle retisse les fils épars et fragmentés des mondes enchevêtrés par la colonisation. Les sociétés dans lesquelles nous vivons, en France comme au Niger, sont en partie issues des rapports de domination qui se sont alors noués ; s'intéresser à la complexité de ce moment nous donne des outils pour penser notre présent.

    Abstract: Neben Denkmälern und Straßennamen zeugen zauberhafte Museumsobjekte von den einstigen Kolonien - doch wie sind sie zu uns gekommen und woher stammen sie? Götz Aly deckt auf, dass es sich in den allermeisten Fällen um koloniale Raubkunst handelt, und erzählt, wie brutal deutsche Händler, Abenteurer und Ethnologen in der Südsee auf Raubzug gingen. So auch auf der Insel Luf: Dort zerstörten sie Hütten und Boote und rotteten die Bewohner fast vollständig aus. 1902 rissen Hamburger Kaufleute das letzte, von den Überlebenden kunstvoll geschaffene, hochseetüchtige Auslegerboot an sich. Heute ist das weltweit einmalige Prachtstück für das Entree des Berliner Humboldt Forums vorgesehen. Götz Aly dokumentiert die Gewalt, Zerstörungswut und Gier, mit der deutsche "Strafexpeditionen" über die kulturellen Schätze herfielen. Das Publikum sollte und soll sie bestaunen - aber bis heute möglichst wenig vom Leid der ausgeraubten Völker erfahren. Ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Debatte über Raubkunst, Kolonialismus und Rassismus und zugleich ein erschütterndes Stück deutscher Geschichte. "Was für ein Buch! Was für Erkenntnisse!" Bénédicte SavoyGötz Aly ist Historiker und lebt in Berlin. Für seine Bücher wurde er vielfach ausgezeichnet, unter anderem mit dem Heinrich-Mann- und dem Ludwig-Börne-Preis. 2018 erhielt er für "Europa gegen die Juden 1880-1945" (S. Fischer) den Geschwister-Scholl-Preis. Sein neues Buch handelt von deutschen Kolonialverbrechen - ein ungewohntes Thema, aber ein "echter Aly".

    Abstract: "In Tears, Fire, and Blood, James Meriwether offers a sweeping history of how the United States responded to decolonization in Africa. The new political terrain of the twentieth century drew out national and ideological dilemmas in the U.S.: democratic principles of self-determination ran up against fears of potential Communist gains, and ideals of one person/one vote crashed against doubts about weakening western alliances and anticommunist partners. A decolonizing Africa helped propel the black freedom struggle around the world, forcing the U.S. to confront the realities of civil rights abroad as it fought over how to achieve equality at home. Meriwether demonstrates that Washington veered between strengthening African nationalist movements seeking majority rule and independence and bolstering anticommunist European allies seeking to maintain white rule. Ultimately, the U.S. supported European allies and white minority rule, choosing national security interests and racial prejudices over anticolonialism"

    Abstract: Looking at the ways in which the memory of slavery affects present-day relations in Amsterdam, this ethnographic account reveals a paradox: while there is growing official attention to the country's slavery past (monuments, festivals, ritual occasions), many interlocutors showed little interest in the topic. Developing the notion of "trace" as a seminal notion to explore this paradox, this book follows the issue of slavery in everyday realities and offers a fine-grained ethnography of how people refer to this past - often in almost unconscious ways - and weave it into their perceptions of present-day issue.

    Abstract: Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest reveals how the Spanish invasions in the Americas have been conceived and presented, misrepresented and misunderstood, in the five centuries since Columbus first crossed the Atlantic.This book is a unique and provocative synthesis of ideas and themes that were for generations debated or perpetuated without question in academic and popular circles. The 2003 edition became the foundation stone of a scholarly turn since called The New Conquest History. Each of the book's seven chapters describes one "myth," or one aspect of the Conquest that has been distorted or misrepresented, examines its roots, and explodes its fallacies and misconceptions. Using a wide array of primary and secondary sources, written in a scholarly but readable style, Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest explains why Columbus did not set out to prove the world was round, the conquistadors were not soldiers, the native Americans did not take them for gods, Cortés did not have a unique vision of conquest procedure, and handfuls of vastly outnumbered Spaniards did not bring down great empires with stunning rapidity. Conquest realities were more complex—and far more fascinating—than conventional histories have related, and they featured a more diverse cast of protagonists-Spanish, Native American, and African. This updated edition of a key event in the history of the Americas critically examines the book's arguments, how they have held up, and why they prompted the rise of a New Conquest History.

    Abstract: In Colonial Impotence, Benoît Henriet studies the violent contradictions of colonial rule from the standpoint of the Leverville concession, Belgian Congo's largest palm oil exploitation. Leverville was imagined as a benevolent tropical utopia, whose Congolese workers would be "civilized" through a paternalist machinery. However, the concession was marred by inefficiency, endemic corruption and intrinsic brutality. Colonial agents in the field could be seen as impotent, for they were both unable and unwilling to perform as expected. This book offers a new take on the joint experience of colonialism and capitalism in Southwest Congo, and sheds light on their impact on local environments, bodies, societies and cosmogonies.

    Abstract: Museums across Great Britain and Ireland hold Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (collectively referred to as `Indigenous`) cultural heritage of exceptional value, but which is largely unknown, rarely seen, and poorly understood. Gifted, sold, exchanged, and bartered by Indigenous people, and accepted, bought, collected, and taken by travelers, colonists, explorers, missionaries, officials and others, these rare objects date from Captain Cook in 1770 to the present day. Numbering over 35,000 items, they represent all regions of Australia`s vast landmass, from deserts, islands, and coasts to tropical rainforests.The book uses nearly 160 artifacts, selected from over 30 public museums, both large metropolitan and small regional, to present a multi-stranded narrative that opens up vistas on Britain`s Australian history as much as Australia`s British history.More than twenty Indigenous, Australian, and international experts weave together deeply-contextualized accounts of objects and object-types; of makers, communities, and regions; and of collectors, networks, and institutions, while also exploring the meanings and importance of this material in Australia, Britain and Ireland, and the world today.Distanced from their places of origin and dispersed throughout Britain and Ireland, these objects are gathered together for the first time. Out of museum stores and into this book, they are evidence of the complex, and often difficult, relationships between Indigenous Australians and British people and institutions, as well as being powerful conduits for telling that history anew and in ways that seek to challenge and rework its legacies.

    Abstract: Schon vor 50 Jahren kämpfte Afrika um seine Kunst, die während der Kolonialzeit massenweise in europäische Museen gelangt war. Und es fand durchaus Unterstützung im Westen. Am Ende jedoch war der Kampf nicht nur vergebens, er wurde auch erfolgreich vergessen gemacht. Auf der Grundlage von unzähligen unbekannten Quellen aus Europa und Afrika erzählt Bénédicte Savoy die gespenstische Geschichte einer verpassten Chance, einer Niederlage, die heute mit umso größerer Wucht auf uns zurückschlägt. Afrikas Bemühungen um seine in der Kolonialzeit nach Europa verbrachte Kunst sind keineswegs neu. Schon bald nach 1960, als 18 ehemalige Kolonien die Unabhängigkeit erlangten, wurde von afrikanischen Intellektuellen, Politikern und Museumsleuten eine ungeheure Dynamik in Gang gesetzt. In ganz Europa suchten daraufhin Politikerinnen und Politiker, Journalisten, Akademiker und einige Museumsleute einen Weg, afrikanische Kulturgüter im Sinne einer postkolonialen und postrassistischen Solidarität zurückzugeben. Die Argumente aber, mit denen andere versuchten, die Forderungen aus Afrika zu entkräften und Lösungen zu verhindern, ähneln auf frappierende Weise denen von heute. Schließlich verlief alles im Sand. "Gebt koloniale Raubkunst zurück! Dafür engagiert sich Bénédicte Savoy. In ihrem Buch zeigt die Kunsthistorikerin nun, dass ihr Kampf ein alter ist. Schon in den 1960er-Jahren drängten die neu gegründeten Staaten Afrikas auf eine Rückführung - erfolglos. Die Argumente der Gegner von damals ähneln dabei denen von heute auf frappierende Weise"

    Abstract: South Sudan became independent in 2011 after decades of rebel wars with the Government of Sudan. Independence prompted discussions about South Sudanese identity and shared history, in which material objects and cultural heritage featured as vitally important resources. However, the long-term effects of colonialism and conflict had largely precluded any concerted attempts to preserve material culture within the country; museums remained in Khartoum, the capital of the formally united Sudan. Furthermore, tens of thousands of objects had been removed from what is now South Sudan during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to museum and private collections around the world. Up to now there have been few attempts to reconnect the history of these South Sudanese museum collections with people in or from South Sudan. Pieces of a Nation is the first extended study of South Sudanese material cultural heritage in museum collections and beyond. The chapters discuss a range of different objects and practices - from museum objects taken from South Sudan in the context of enslavement and colonialism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to efforts by South Sudanese to preserve their country's cultural heritage during recent conflicts. With essays by 32 contributors in Europe, South Sudan, Uganda and Australia, this book delivers a unique range of perspectives on museum objects from South Sudan and on heritage practices in the country and among its diaspora. Written by curators, academics, heritage professionals and artists in accessible and engaging style, it is intended for scholars, museum professionals and a wide range of individuals interested in South Sudan, African arts and cultures, the history of museum collecting and colonialism and/or the role of material heritage in peacebuilding and refugee contexts. At a time of widespread, prominent debates over the provenance of museum collections from Africa and calls for restitution, this book provides an in-depth empirical study of the circumstances and practices that led to South Sudanese objects entering foreign museum collections and the importance of these objects in South Sudan and around the world today.

    Abstract: What is the heritage of our cities? Which are the monuments, places, and spaces in which it accumulates, and by which practices is it formed, handed down, appropriated? Gerhard Vinken takes the readers to twelve cities on three continents and analyses the diverse and contradictory heritage formations that have had a lasting impact on urban life. The vitality of urban heritage, as these vivid and in-depth case studies show, lies in the dynamic and often conflictual processes of social appropriation and interpretation. Covering a diverse range of themes, the book familiarizes the reader with important questions and theories in urban research and heritage studies. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: The Scarcity Slot is the first book to critically examine food security in Africa`s deep past. Amanda L. Logan argues that African foodways have been viewed through the lens of "the scarcity slot," a kind of othering based on presumed differences in resources. Weaving together archaeological, historical, and environmental data with food ethnography, she advances a new approach to building long-term histories of food security on the continent in order to combat these stereotypes. Focusing on a case study in Banda, Ghana that spans the past six centuries, The Scarcity Slot reveals that people thrived during a severe, centuries-long drought just as Europeans arrived on the coast, with a major decline in food security emerging only recently. This narrative radically challenges how we think about African foodways in the past, with major implications for the future. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: This book discusses the legislative, sociological and political aspects of the human rights to expression in Pakistan, with specific regard to Pakistan`s blasphemy legislation. This book explores the violation of international human rights norms inherent in Pakistan`s blasphemy laws, in particular, norms found in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Weaving in the personal narratives of ordinary people, priests, pastors, layers and human rights organisations, this book examines the impact and pernicious use of blasphemy laws on the Christians of Pakistan.

    Abstract: Do so-called universal human rights apply to indigenous, formerly enslaved and colonized peoples?This trenchant book brings human rights into conversation with the histories and afterlives of Western colonialism and slavery. Colin Samson examines the paradox that the nations that credit themselves with formulating universal human rights were colonial powers, settler colonists and sponsors of enslavement. Samson points out that many liberal theorists supported colonialism and slavery, and how this illiberalism plays out today in selective, often racist processes of recognition and enforcement of human rights. To reveal the continuities between colonial histories and contemporary events, Samson connects British, French and American colonial theories and practice to the notion of non-universal human rights. Vivid illustrations and case studies of racial exceptions to human rights are drawn from the afterlives of the enslaved and colonized, as well as recent events such as American police killings of black people, the treatment of Algerian harkis in France, the Windrush scandal in Britain and the militarized suppression of the Standing Rock Water Protectors movement. Advocating for reparative justice and indigenizing law, Samson argues that such events are not a failure of liberalism so much as an inbuilt racial dynamic of it.

    Abstract: Throughout history, a large portion of the world's population has lived under imperial rule. Although scholars do not always agree on when and where the roots of imperialism lie, most would agree that imperial configurations have affected human history so profoundly that the legacy of ancient empires continues to structure the modern world in many ways. Empires are best described as heterogeneous and dynamic patchworks of imperial configurations in which imperial power was the outcome of the complex interaction between evolving colonial structures and various types of agents in highly contingent relationships. The goal of this volume is to harness the work of the "next generation" of empire scholars in order to foster new theoretical and methodological perspectives that are of relevance within and beyond archaeology and to foreground empires as a cross-cultural category. This book demonstrates how archaeological research can contribute to our conceptualization of empires across disciplinary boundaries

    Abstract: The key question for many anthropologists and historians today is not whether to cross the boundary between their disciplines, but whether the idea of a disciplinary boundary should be sustained. Reinterpreting the dynamic interplay between archive and field, these essays propose a method for mutually productive crossings between historical and ethnographic research. It engages critically with the colonial pasts of indigenous societies and examines how fieldwork and archival studies together lead to fruitful insights into the making of different colonial historicities. Timor-Leste`s unusually long and in some ways unique colonial history is explored as a compelling case for these crossings. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: Border regions are often considered to be the neglected margins. In this book, Paul Nugent argues that through a comparison of the Senegambia and the trans-Volta (Ghana/Togo), we can see that the geographical margins have shaped notional centres at least as much as the reverse. Through a study of three centuries of history, this book demonstrates that states were forged through an extended process of converting a topography of settled states and slaving frontiers into colonial borders. It argues that post-colonial states and larger social contracts have been configured very differently as a consequence. It underscores the impact on regional dynamics and the phenomenon of peripheral urbanism. Nugent also addresses the manner in which a variegated sense of community has been forged amongst Mandinka, Jola, Ewe and Agotime populations who have both shaped and been shaped by the border. This is an exercise in reciprocal comparison and shuttles between scales, from the local and the particular to the national and the regional.

    Abstract: One of the areas of fastest-growing interest in the humanities and social sciences in recent years has been the history of animals. Imperial Creatures fills a gap in that field by looking across species at animals in a urban colonial setting. If imperialism is a series of power relationships, Timothy P. Barnard argues, then it necessarily involves not only the subjugation of human communities, but also of animals. What was the relationship between those two processes in colonial Singapore? How did interactions with animals enable changes in interactions between people?Through a multidisciplinary consideration of fauna, Imperial Creatures weaves together a series of tales to document how animals were cherished, monitored, employed, and slaughtered in a colonial society. All animals, including humans, Barnard shows, have been creatures of imperialism in Singapore. Their stories teach us lessons about the structures that upheld such a society and how it developed over time, lessons of relevance to animal historians, to historians of Singapore, and to urban historians and imperial historians with an interest in environmental themes.

    Abstract: West African history is inseparable from the history of the Atlantic slave trade and colonialism. According to historical archaeologist François Richard, however, the dominance of this narrative not only colors the range of political discourse about Africa but also occludes many lesser-known--but equally important--experiences of those living in the region. Reluctant Landscapes is an exploration of the making and remaking of political experience and physical landscapes among rural communities in the Siin province of Senegal between the late 1500s and the onset of World War II. By recovering the histories of farmers and commoners who made up African states' demographic core in this period, Richard shows their crucial--but often overlooked--role in the making of Siin history. The book also delves into the fraught relation between the Seereer, a minority ethnic and religious group, and the Senegalese nation-state, with Siin's perceived "primitive" conservatism standing at odds with the country's Islamic modernity. Through a deep engagement with oral, documentary, archaeological, and ethnographic archives, Richard's groundbreaking study revisits the four-hundred-year history of a rural community shunted to the margins of Senegal's national imagination.

    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: This edited collection focuses on Aboriginal and Maori travel in colonial contexts. Authors in this collection examine the ways that Indigenous people moved and their motivations for doing so. Chapters consider the cultural aspects of travel for Indigenous communities on both sides of the Tasman. Contributors examine Indigenous purposes for mobility, including for community and individual economic wellbeing, to meet other Indigenous or non-Indigenous peoples and experience different cultures, and to gather knowledge or experience, or to escape from colonial intrusion.

    Abstract: This multidisciplinary volume analyses key themes and topics related to the cultural encounters between Italy and its former colonies in the Horn of Africa (Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia). The multi-faceted relations between the Horn of Africa and Italy were initiated during the colonial period but have also been shaped more recently through migration. In eleven chapters by experts in comparative literature, cultural studies, history, migration studies, political philosophy and postcolonial theory, the volume highlights how the legacy of colonialism permeates Italian society as well as influencing the construction of national identities in the Horn of Africa. The analysis of this transnational encounter opens up new possibilities for comparative research and critical synergies in Italian studies, African studies and beyond.

    Abstract: Long regarded as disturbing remnants of the Atlantic slave trade, the European forts and castles of West Africa have attained iconic positions as universally significant historical monuments and world heritage tourist destinations. This volume of original contributions by leading Africanists presents extensive new historical views of the forts in Ghana and Benin, providing both impetus and a scholarly basis for further research and fresh debate about their historical and geographical contexts; their role in the slave trade; the economic and political connections, centred on the forts, between the Europeans and local African polities; and their place in variously focused heritage studies and endeavours.

    Abstract: En Afrique Occidentale Française (AOF), l`école coloniale a tenté de justifier sa mission par l`adaptation de son enseignement aux nouvelles « petites patries » de l`empire, selon la terminologie de la IIIe République. La création de savoirs « adaptés » ne s`est pas faite en un jour. La tâche en incombait aux instituteurs, en majorité africains, et devenus les principaux ethnographes des terroirs arpentés dans le cadre de la « mise en valeur scientifique » des colonies. Ceux-ci ne furent pas de simples informateurs ou auxiliaires des sciences coloniales. Ils ont mené leurs propres recherches et fait oeuvre d`auteurs à part entière. Ils ont ainsi jeté les bases d`une affirmation culturelle, concomitante de la négritude parisienne, mais ancrée dans une « négritude de terrain », profondément ambivalente. Leur prise de parole était en effet soumise à la censure tatillonne de la hiérarchie administrative, dont le livre retrouve la trace dans les archives. Il démontre ainsi comment se négocie, au fil des pages, une transaction hégémonique impériale.Première exploration systématique du corpus des publications des instituteurs ouest-africains, ce livre pionnier offre un aperçu inédit de la « bibliothèque coloniale ». Il bouleverse notre compréhension du fait impérial, et met au centre de l`analyse une catégorie d`acteurs intermédiaires en les reconnaissant pour ce qu`ils ont été : de vrais intellectuels, au coeur des contradictions de leur époque.

    Abstract: Nach 1878 erschlossen deutsche Industrie und Finanzwirtschaft den türkischen Teil des Osmanischen Reiches als Absatzmarkt. Bismarck gelang die Integration dieses Engagements in seine Gleichgewichtspolitik, zugleich nutzte er die Region als Labor für seine Suche nach außenpolitischen Handlungsmöglichkeiten. Unter seinen Nachfolgern führte das wirtschaftliche Supremat Deutschlands zu wachsender Entfremdung mit dem Empire. Die Studie weist nach, dass diese politisch-ökonomischen Interessensgegensätze im Vorderen Orient in der deutschsprachigen Historiografie bislang unzureichend gewürdigt wurden.

    Abstract: A tapestry of innovation, ideas, and commerce, Africa and its entrepreneurial hubs are deeply connected to those of the past. Moses E. Ochonu and an international group of contributors explore the lived experiences of African innovators who have created value for themselves and their communities. Profiles of vendors, farmers, craftspeople, healers, spiritual consultants, warriors, musicians, technological innovators, political mobilizers, and laborers featured in this volume show African models of entrepreneurship in action. As a whole, the essays consider the history of entrepreneurship in Africa, illustrating its multiple origins and showing how it differs from the Western capitalist experience. As they establish historical patterns of business creativity, these explorations open new avenues for understanding indigenous enterprise and homegrown commerce and their relationship to social, economic, and political debates in Africa today.

    Abstract: The Slave Coast, situated in what is now the West African state of Benin, was the epicentre of the Atlantic Slave Trade. But it was also an inhospitable, surf-ridden coastline, subject to crashing breakers and devoid of permanent human settlement. Nor was it easily accessible from the interior due to a lagoon which ran parallel to the coast. The local inhabitants were not only sheltered against incursions from the sea, but were also locked off from it. Yet, paradoxically, it was this coastline that witnessed a thriving long-term commercial relation-ship between Europeans and Africans, based on the trans-Atlantic slave trade. How did it come about? How was it all organised? And how did the locals react to the opportunities these new trading relations offered them? The Kingdom of Dahomey is usually cited as the Slave Coast's archetypical slave raiding and slave trading polity. An inland realm, it was a latecomer to the slave trade, and simply incorporated a pre-existing system by dint of military prowess, which ultimately was to prove radically counterproductive. Fuglestad's book seeks to explain the Dahomean 'anomaly' and its impact on the Slave Coast's societies and polities.

    Abstract: Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gingen viele katholische Missionare nach Ozeanien, denn die Reichsregierung duldete nur deutsche Missionsgesellschaften bzw. -orden. Zwei Orden aus Münster, Westfalen übernahmen die Christianisierung in Papua-Neuguinea und Mikronesien. Ihre Herkunft ebenso wie ihre Tätigkeit in Ozeanien werden in dem Band aus verschiedenen Perspektiven betrachtet. Zudem widmen die Autor_innen sich den Verflechtungen zwischen Ozeanien und Deutschland, stellen ländliche Gesellschaften in Westfalen und Ozeanien im Vergleich dar und behandeln die Veränderungen in der deutschen Gesellschaft - etwa durch Handel oder die Verbreitung von Wissen über Ozeanien und die dort lebenden Menschen.

    Abstract: The failure to manage cultural diversity in Morocco and Equatorial Guinea in an egalitarian manner has been linked to the hallmark of colonialism. First, because the policy practiced upon Arabs and Moroccan Imazighen since the French colonization comprised one of the reasonings employed to justify the pro-Arab policies developed after independence. Second, because the discriminatory policy deployed by Spain in Equatorial Guinea, was overridden by the installation of a dictatorship that established a system of Fang predominance. This book clarifies the degree to which the Spanish colonization is responsible for the present-day management of cultural diversity in both countries. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: In Forging the Ideal Educated Girl, Shenila Khoja-Moolji traces the figure of the `educated girl` to examine the evolving politics of educational reform and development campaigns in colonial India and Pakistan. She challenges the prevailing common sense associated with calls for women`s and girls` education and argues that such advocacy is not simply about access to education but, more crucially, concerned with producing ideal Muslim woman-/girl-subjects with specific relationships to the patriarchal family, paid work, Islam, and the nation-state. Thus, discourses on girls`/women`s education are sites for the construction of not only gender but also class relations, religion, and the nation.(Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: An examination of the role of the French Army in French West Africa and its relations with its African soldiers from the end of World War II to the final demobilization of African troops from the French Army in 1964."--Provided by publisher.As part of France's opposition to the independence of its former colonies in the years following World War II, its army remained deeply invested in preventing the decolonization of the territories comprising French West Africa (FWA). Even as late as the 1950s, the French Army clung to the hope that it was possible to retain FWA as a colony, believing that its relations with African soldiers could offer the perfect model for continued ties between France and its West African territories. In The French Army and Its African Soldiers Ruth Ginio examines the French Army's attempts to win the hearts and souls of the local population at a time of turbulence and uncertainty regarding future relations between the colonizer and colony. Through the prism of the army's relationship with its African soldiers, Ginio considers how the army's activities and political position during FWA's decolonization laid the foundation for France's continued active presence in some of these territories after independence. This project is the first thorough examination of the French Army's involvement in West Africa before independence and provides the essential historical background to understanding France's complex postcolonial military relations with its former territories in Africa.

    Abstract: Borno (in northeast Nigeria) is notorious today as the home of an Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram, whose insurgency is a major security threat, but it was once the heartland of the Kanuri-speaking royal empire of Kanem-Borno, renowned throughout Africa and beyond, which in its later incarnation, the Bornu Empire, lasted from 1380 to 1893. This book offers the reader the first modern history of Borno, drawing upon sources in London, Berlin, Paris, Kaduna and Maiduguri and recently released 'migrated archives'. As its longevity suggests, what is particularly remarkable about Borno is the permanence of its boundaries - its territorial integrity - which dates back centuries, and the political and social identities that such borders framed in the minds of its inhabitants.

    Abstract: Todd Cleveland incorporates labor, sport, diasporic, and imperial history to examine the extraordinary experiences of African football players from Portugal's African colonies as they relocated to the metropole from 1949 until the conclusion of the colonial era in 1975. The backdrop was Portugal's increasingly embattled Estado Novo regime, and its attendant use of the players as propaganda to communicate the supposed unity of the metropole and the colonies. Cleveland zeroes in on the ways that players, such as the great Eusebio, creatively exploited opportunities generated by shifts in the political and occupational landscapes in the waning decades of Portugal's empire. Drawing on interviews with the players themselves, he shows how they often assumed roles as social and cultural intermediaries and counters reductive histories that have depicted footballers as mere colonial pawns. To reconstruct these players' transnational histories, the narrative traces their lives from the informal soccer spaces in colonial Africa to the manicured pitches of Europe, while simultaneously focusing on their off-the-field challenges and successes. By examining this multi-continental space in a single analytical field, the book unearths structural and experiential consistencies and contrasts, and illuminates the components and processes of empireWith Following the Ball, Todd Cleveland incorporates labor, sport, diasporic, and imperial history to examine the extraordinary experiences of African football players from Portugal's African colonies as they relocated to the metropole from 1949 until the conclusion of the colonial era in 1975.

    Abstract: Bambara, wolof, peul, arabe... Quand les explorateurs français s'aventurent pour la première fois à l'intérieur des terres de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, ils se trouvent confrontés à plusieurs centaines de langues différentes. Comment se faire comprendre quand il s'agit de trouver des vivres, de réquisitionner des hommes, de se faire indiquer des itinéraires praticables ? Au cours du XIXe siècle, ta communication devient un enjeu crucial de la conquête et une condition indispensable pour établir durablement la présence de la République dans ces territoires. De l'apprentissage par les explorateurs de la langue mandingue à l'imposition du français comme outil de domination politique et culturelle, en passant par l'utilisation de l'arabe écrit au sein de l'administration coloniale, c'est un panorama inédit des interactions entre les différents protagonistes de cette rencontre que nous offre cet ouvrage : à travers les pratiques de communication entre Africains et Européens, un aspect méconnu et pourtant crucial de la colonisation.

    Abstract: The most general questions addressed in this book concern the relationship between individual and society, the political role of ideology, and - ultimately - the limits of individual freedom. The author asks how institutionalized power, in this case the colonial polity of German Togo, formed its subjects. He points to the importance of ideological/practical means for this process, especially certain historically specific "symbolic-ideological complexes," or grand narratives and the associated ritual behavior conducted in culturally determined space-time, whose disciplinary role consisted in shaping subjects` cognitive principles of differentiation and their mental and bodily dispositions (habitus) that were "desirable" from the point of view of power holders. Specifically, he analyzes the process and particular effects of cooperation between holders of economic/political assets in German Togo (the colonial administration and businesses) on the one hand, and wielders of cultural/symbolic capital (the Catholic order of Steyler Missionaries or Society of the Divine Word), on the other, whose purpose was to discipline "German-Togolese" colonial subjects by means of persuasive discourses, public ritual processes, and individual "micro techniques" of the body.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Part I. Three theoretical models: polity, symbolic-ritual systems, colonial field. Chapter 1. Polity as an "embodied cosmo-, socio- and anthropovision": Bourdieuan consecration as a form of disciplining of a "politically correct" subject. Chapter 2. Sybolic-ritual systems: theoretical-practical blueprints for societal disciplining in the ninteenth-century Europe. Chapter 3. Colonial field and colonial polity: a look at the colonial panarama -- Part II. The German colonial polity of Togo, its social space and ideological blueprints. Chapter 4. Geographical space of German Togo and its expansion. Chapter 5. Social space of German Togo: taking positions in the colonial field. Chapter 6. Colonial visions: three organizing narratives as blueprints for the colonial polity in Togo -- Part III. Power dispersed in bodies. Chapter 7. The argument of force or Prussia in Africa: the German colonial state in Togo and the diciplining of the body-subject. Chapter 8. The force of argument or Steyl in West Africa: Steyler Missionaries as carriers of cultural-symbolic capital in the colonial polity of German Togo. Chapter 9. Effect of disciplining: incarnations of the colonial body-subject. Chapter 10. Postscript - Kulurkampf in the colonial field: a politicized conflict of the Styler Missionaries with colonial administration -- References -- Index

    Abstract: J. A. Green (1873-1905) was one of the most prolific and accomplished indigenous photographers to be active in West Africa. This beautiful book celebrates Green's photographs and opens a new chapter in the early photographic history of Africa. Soon after photography reached the west coast of Africa in the 1840s, the technology and the resultant images were disseminated widely, appealing to African elites, European residents, and travelers to the region. Responding to the need for more photographs, expatriate and indigenous photographers began working along the coasts, particularly in major harbor towns. Green, whose identity remained hidden behind his English surname, maintained a photography business in Bonny along the Niger Delta. His work covered a wide range of themes including portraiture, scenes of daily and ritual life, commerce, and building. Martha G. Anderson, Lisa Aronson, and the contributors have uncovered 350 of Green's images in archives, publications, and even albums that celebrated colonial achievements. This landmark book unifies these dispersed images and presents a history of the photographer and the area in which he worked.

    Abstract: The essays in After the Treaty explore themes rangeing from contemporary interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi and subsequent interactions between settlerdom and Maori, through the troubled aftermath of the armed conflicts of the 1840s and 1860s (such as the Crown's imperative to place settlers on Maori land), to surveillance of citizens by the settler state and the origins of New Zealand diplomacy.Conceived as a tribute to Ian McLean Wards (1920-2003), who for some six decades - as researcher and writer, civil servant and cultural activist - contributed significantly to promoting awareness of New Zealand's history in all its facets, the authors include boh former colleagues and younger scholars exploring themes in which Wards had a particular interest.Whether reflecting upon relevant earlier research and writing (including Wards' own), or tackling their subjects primarilly through the lens of more recent historical investigation or analysis, togehter these essays provide nuw insight into vital issues in nineteenth-century New Zealand colonial history.

    Abstract: Empire and Education in Africa brings together a rich body of scholarship on the history of education in colonial Africa. It provides a unique contribution to the historiography of education in different African countries and a useful point of entry for scholars new to the field of African colonial education. The collection includes case studies from South Africa, Ethiopia, Madagascar, French West Africa (Afrique Occidentale Franc¸aise) and Tanzania (then Tanganyika). It will therefore prove invaluable for scholars in the histories of French, British and German colonialism in Africa. The book examines similarities and differences in approaches to education across a broad geographical and chronological framework, with chapters focusing on the period between 1830 and 1950. The chapters highlight some central concerns in writing histories of education that transcend geographic or imperial boundaries. The text addresses the relationship between voluntary societies' role in education provision and state education. The book also deals with 'adapted' education: what kind of education was appropriate to African people or African contexts, and how did this differ across and between colonial contexts? Finally, many of the chapters deal with issues of gender in colonial education, showing how issues of gender were central to education provision in Africa

    Abstract: In and Out of the Maasai Steppe looks at the Maasai women in the Maasai Steppe of Tanzania. The book explores their current plight - threatened by climate change - in the light of colonial history and post-independence history of land seizures. The book documents the struggles of a group of women to develop new livelihood income through their traditional beadwork. Voices of the women are shared as they talk about how it feels to share their husband with many co-wives, and the book examines gender, their beliefs, social hierarchy, social changes and in particular the interface between the Maasai and colonials.

    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: Verdrängt und vergessen sind die Männer und Frauen, die Kinder und Greise, die man hinter Gittern oder Barrieren zur Schau stellte wie Orang-Utans, chinesische Pandabären oder bengalische Tiger. Von Hamburg bis Paris, von London bis Tokio, von Chicago bis Genf strömten Millionen von Menschen in derartige "Völkerschauen" und "Menschenzoos". Dies geschah um die Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert - und wirkt bis heute fort. Die Schaulustigen waren fasziniert von diesen "Wilden", die so seltsame Gebräuche hatten. Sie sahen in ihnen nur "Fremde", "Andersartige", angeblich "echte Kannibalen". Die Besucher bemerkten nicht, dass sich die westliche Welt der Schaustellungen bediente, um das eigene Selbstbild zu idealisieren. Denn es ging nicht um eine bereichernde Begegnung zwischen verschiedenen Kulturen, sondern darum, das Überlegenheitsgefühl der "weißen Rasse" zu stärken und die "zivilisierende" Politik der Kolonialmächte zu rechtfertigen. Zudem begegnete man den Fremden oftmals ganz und gar nicht wohltätig. Man ließ sie frieren, blieb oft sogar angesichts der vielen Krankheiten und Todesfälle unter ihnen ungerührt. Schließlich waren es ja nur "Wilde". Hamburg war einer der europäischen Brennpunkte dieser Entwicklung. Carl Hagenbeck verwirklichte ab 1874 als erster in Europa die Idee einer "anthropologisch-zoologischen Ausstellung ". Der Erfolg dieser Veranstaltungen war - auch in finanzieller Hinsicht - so überwältigend, dass man auch anderswo versuchte, die Sensationsgier zu bedienen. Völkerschauen und MenschenZoos fanden im deutschen Sprachraum u.a. in Hamburg, Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Köln, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Mannheim, München, Wien, und Basel statt. Die MenschenZoos trugen entscheidend dazu bei, dass sich die rassistische Denkweise der "Wissenschaft vom Menschen" auf breite Bevölkerungskreise ausdehnte. Denn im Gefolge dieses rassistischen Trugbilds von den Fremden, dem die Pseudowissenschaft der damaligen Anthropologie das Mäntelchen der Objektivität umgehängt hatte, breitete sich rassistisches Denken unter großen Teilen der Bevölkerung westlicher Staaten aus. Ein Rassismus, der einige Jahrzehnte später schreckliche Folgen haben würde. Die "MenschenZoos" zeigen uns die Entstehung unserer bis heute fortbestehenden Vorurteile und Ängste. Sie zeugen von der Spaltung der Menschheit in einen angeblich höherwertigen und einen angeblich minderwertigem Teil. 33 Forscher und Fachleute haben an diesem Buch mitgearbeitet.

    Abstract: In Colonial Survey and Native Landscapes in Rural South Africa, 1850 - 1913, Lindsay Frederick Braun explores the technical processes and struggles surrounding the creation and maintenance of boundaries and spaces in South Africa in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The precision of surveyors and other colonial technicians lent these enterprises an illusion of irreproachable objectivity and authority, even though the reality was far messier. Using a wide range of archival and printed materials from survey departments, repositories, and libraries, the author presents two distinct episodes of struggle over lands and livelihoods, one from the Eastern Cape and one from the former northern Transvaal. These cases expose the contingencies, contests, and negotiations that fundamentally shaped these changing South African landscapes.

    Abstract: This volume considers the military, economic, and political significance of Africa during World War II. The essays feature new research and innovative approaches to the historiography of Africa and bring to the fore issues of race, gender, and labor during the war, topics that have not yet received much critical attention. It explores the experiences of male and female combatants, peasant producers, women traders, missionaries, and sex workers. The first section offers three introductory essays that give a continent-wide overview of how Africa sustained the Allied effort through labor and resources. The six sections that follow offer individual case studies from different parts of the continent. Contributors offer a macro and micro view of the multiple levels on which Africa's contributions shaped the war as well as the ways in which the war affected individuals and communities and transformed Africa's political, economic, and social landscape.

In Deutschland vergessen, ist dies Geschehen den Nachkommen der Opfer und Überlebenden in Namibia präsent. Daran schließt sich ein asymmetrischer Konflikt. Es geht um Anerkennung, Entschuldigung und Entschädigung, aber auch um das Schicksal menschlicher Überreste, die zu rassekundlichen Forschungen nach Deutschland gebracht wurden.

    Abstract: This book is a dynamic discussion of how Africa shapes world events today. Although Africa is often portrayed as a remove and impoverished area, remembered for the suffering of its people, it has played an important role in recent history and will continue to play a significant role in the future of America. Tukufu Zuberi weaves interview excerpts and stories from many Africans he has met-from refugees to heads of state-into a larger narrative that takes readers through key events in African history and shows their importance today.African Independence highlights the important role Africa has played in recent history and the significant role it will continue to play in the future of America and the globe. In a world where much of the power and wealth remains concentrated in the hands of a very few people, this book looks at how the history of African independence has touched all people-from refugees to heads of state. Author Tukufu Zuberi weaves exclusive interview excerpts and stories from many Africans he has met with old newsreels, current news and reports, and research into a larger narrative that takes readers through key events in African history and shows their importance today. The book provides context for understanding connections between events in Africa and the world, such as Nigeria's Boko Haram acts of war against the citizens of Nigeria and neighboring states, China's rise as the main superpower with the largest financial connections to the African continent, and the so-called war against terrorism. Zuberi is also the director of the documentary African Independence, which has won awards including Best Director and Best Documentary at the San Diego Black Film Festival, Best Director at The People's Film Festival, Best African Film at the San Diego Black Film Festival, and more. Both alone and together, the book and film offer a deeper understanding of Africa's central role in world affairs.

    Abstract: Trotz einer Vielzahl von Veröffentlichungen zu dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges als der »Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts« wurde ein Thema zu wenig berücksichtigt: die Aufstände gegen die Kolonialherrschaft, die jenseits der Weltkriegsfronten in allen Teilen des Kontinents ausbrachen. In den geschichtlichen Analysen stand bisher zumeist die Eroberung der deutschen Kolonien durch die Alliierten im Mittelpunkt. Ulrich Braukämper untersucht den anti-kolonialen Widerstand in Afrika zur Zeit des Ersten Weltkriegs. Zwangsrekrutierungen von Trägern und durch Plünderungen ausgelöste Hungersnöte werden dabei ebenso behandelt wie die mit dem Krieg verbundene Erinnerungskultur und die Entkolonialisierung.

    Abstract: Angola's Colossal Lie. Forced Labor on a Sugar Plantation, 1913-1977 is the first in-depth study of forced labor on a Portuguese-owned sugar plantation in colonial Angola. A prominent Portuguese civil servant dubbed the labor system in Angola a "colossal lie" because the reality so contradicted the law. Using extensive oral history interviews with former forced laborers, Jeremy Ball explains how Angolans experienced forced labor. Ball also interviews former Portuguese administrators to provide multiple perspectives about the transition to independence and the nationalization of the plantation.

    Abstract: "Indians in Kenya chronicles the competing, often contradictory, strategies by which the South Asian diaspora sought a political voice in Kenya from the beginning of colonial rule in the late 1890s to independence in the 1960s. Indians' intellectual, economic, and political connections with South Asia shaped their understanding of their lives in Kenya. Sana Aiyar investigates how the many strands of Indians' diasporic identity influenced Kenya's political leadership, from claiming partnership with Europeans in their mission to colonize and "civilize" East Africa to successful collaborations with Afrians to battle for racial equality, including during the Mau Mau rebellion. She also explores how the hierarchical structures of colonial governance, the material inequalities between Indians and Africans, and the racialized political discourses that flourished in both colonial and postcolonial Kenya limited the success of alliances across racial and class lines"-- Book jacket.Working as merchants, skilled tradesmen, clerks, lawyers, and journalists, Indians formed the economic and administrative middle class in colonial Kenya. In general, they were wealthier than Africans, but were denied the political and economic privileges that Europeans enjoyed. Moreover, despite their relative prosperity, Indians were precariously positioned in Kenya. Africans usually viewed them as outsiders, and Europeans largely considered them subservient. Indians demanded recognition on their own terms.

    Abstract: Afrika - mit 54 Staaten, über 1000 Sprachen und der jüngsten Bevölkerung der Welt - ist bunt und vielfältig, uralt und modern. In Europas Erzählung vom "schwarzen Kontinent" klingt diese Vielfalt selten an. Mit erstaunlicher Hartnäckigkeit hält sie fest an der Mär von Afrikas Geschichtslosigkeit und politischer Bedeutungslosigkeit, die aktuellen Medienbilder bleiben verkürzt auf politische Schreckensszenarien und exotische Folklore. Lutz van Dijks spannende Geschichte Afrikas - die er vor allem für junge LeserInnen geschrieben hat - will es anders und beleuchtet unzählige Facetten des Kontinents. Sie beginnt bei der Entstehung des Erdteils und den ersten Menschen, die von hier aus in alle Welt wanderten. Sie erzählt von den frühen Hochkulturen im islamischen Norden und den christlichen und traditionell-afrikanisch geprägten Kulturen im Süden, vom Leben in der Steppe und in den modernen Großstädten. Der Autor berichtet von den Jahrhunderten europäischer Kolonialisierung und der Befreiung und macht schließlich hochaktuelle Themen wie Aids und Ebola, die neue Rolle Chinas, den "arabischen Frühling", Boko Haram, Flucht und Vertreibung verständlicher. Die größte Stärke dieses Werks aber liegt darin, dass Afrikanerinnen und Afrikaner immer wieder selbst zu Wort kommen. Sie erzählen von ihrem Leben und ihren Hoffnungen und machen das Bild von Afrika endlich menschlich und lebendig: das nachhaltigste Mittel gegen das Klischee vom schwarzen Kontinent! (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: Dorothea [Frances] Bleek (1873 to 1948) devoted her life to completing the 'bushman researches' that her father and aunt had begun in the closing decades of the nineteenth century. this research was partly a labour of familial loyalty to Wilhelm, the acclaimed linguist and language scholar of nineteenthcentury Germany and later of the Cape Colony, and to Lucy Lloyd, a self-taught linguist and scholar of bushman languages and folklore; but it was also an expression of Dorothea's commitment to a particular kind of scholarship and an intellectual milieu that saw her spending her entire adult life in the study of the people she called 'bushmen'. How has history treated Dorothea Bleek? Has she been recognised as a scholar in her own right, or as someone who merely followed in the footsteps of her famous father and aunt? Was she an adventurer, a woman who travelled across southern Africa driven by intellectual curiosity? Or was she conservative, a researcher who belittled the people she studied? These are some of the questions with which Weintroub starts her thoughtful biography of Dorothea Bleek. The book examines Dorothea's life story and family legacy, her rock art research and her fi eldwork in southern Africa, and, in light of these, evaluates her scholarship and contribution to the history of ideas in south Africa. The compelling and surprising narrative reveals an intellectual inheritance intertwined with the story of a woman's life, and argues that Dorothea's life work - her study of the bushmen - was also a sometimes surprising emotional quest.

    Abstract: By the late 1980s it was a widely held view in the West that the single greatest threat to the USSR was an Islamic inspired revolt in Central Asia. This did not occur. Myer seeks to explain how such an expectation could have developed and been sustained. Western thought on Central Asia, as it appeared in English, French, German, and US sources, is place in its political and intellectual context. It is argued that ideas about colonialism and the colonial dynamic unduly influenced western understanding of Central Asian politics. The concept of colonialism is examined in depth and the contributions of the major scholars of the area examined on a decade by decade basis, focusing on their understanding of Central Asia as a colonial society and on the role of Islam within it. Finally a 'genealogy of ideas' is offered to explain how a combination of political imperatives, sponsorship and the histories of the scholars involved, precluded the possibility of competing interpretations and has led to modrn misconceptions.As the only work of its kind providing an overview of more than fifty years of scholarship, this book will be of interest to students of colonialism and the history of ideas, particularly those concerning the relations between the West and the Muslim world.

    Abstract: German Colonialism Revisited brings together military historians, art historians, literary scholars, cultural theorists, and linguists to address a range of issues surrounding colonised African, Asian, and Oceanic people's creative reactions to and interactions with German colonialism. This scholarship sheds new light on local power dynamics; agency; and economic, cultural, and social networks that preceded and, as some now argue, ultimately structured German colonial rule. Going beyond issues of resistance, these essays present colonialism as a shared event from which both the colonised and the colonisers emerged changed. They contribute to current debates on transnational and intercultural processes and highlight the ways in which the legacy of the German colonial period is embedded in the global expansion of capitalism, technology, and the Western legal framework.

    Abstract: Der Erste Weltkrieg, die "Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts", forderte rund 17 Millionen Menschenleben in vielen Teilen der Welt, darunter, wie oft vergessen wird, auch viele Nichteuropäer. Gleichzeitig schuf der "Große Krieg" neue Begegnungs- und Erfahrungsräume für die Beteiligten. So gelangten während des Krieges zehntausende Südasiaten aus bäuerlichen und nicht privilegierten Bevölkerungsschichten nach Europa. Viele von ihnen kämpften auf Kriegsschauplätzen in Frankreich und Mesopotamien. Etwa zweitausend von ihnen, zumeist Seeleute und Soldaten aus Dörfern in Bengalen, Nepal, der Nordwest-Grenzprovinz Indiens und dem Punjab, gerieten auf verschiedenen Wegen in deutsche Kriegsgefangenschaft und wurden hier für Jahre festgehalten. Wie Gefangene aus anderen außereuropäischen Regionen, erregten auch die Südasiaten die Aufmerksamkeit von Armeeoffizieren, Diplomaten und Geheimagenten, aber auch von deutschen Künstlern, Wissenschaftlern und Industriellen. Außerdem betrieben indische Revolutionäre im Exil in Zusammenarbeit mit dem deutschen Auswärtigen Amt antikoloniale und nationalistische Propaganda unter den Gefangenen. Die Kriegsgefangenen versuchten ihrerseits Wege zu finden, um die neue Situation zu bewältigen und ihre Begegnungen mit Deutschland und den beteiligten Akteuren in eigenem Sinne zu gestalten. Die Beiträge zu diesem Band gehen diesen vielschichtigen und oft schwierigen Auseinandersetzungen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven nach. Darüber hinaus werden relevante Quellen aus deutschen Archiven vorgestellt, die die Situation der indischen Kriegsgefangenen während des Ersten Weltkrieges beleuchten.

    Abstract: Höchst ungewöhnliche Porträts von zehn französischen Kolonialsoldaten werfen Fragen auf: Wie sind diese Menschen aus Nord- und Westafrika in das Geschehen des Ersten Weltkriegs involviert gewesen? Warum wurden sie in speziellen Lagern von den anderen Kriegsgefangenen separiert? Welches Interesse hatten Wissenschaftler an den Gefangenen aus den Kolonien? Was beobachteten sie und wofür wurden die Ergebnisse ihrer Forschungen verwendet? Die Fotografien von beeindruckender Qualität werden erstmals der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Sie zeigen, wie Krieg und Kolonialismus die Wissenschaft beeinflussten - und wie umgekehrt die Arbeit von Forschern der Kriegspropaganda diente. Das Buch versammelt Beiträge von renommierten Autoren aus Deutschland, Frankreich und dem Senegal, die diesen Fragen nachspüren. Die FotografienDen Ausgangspunkt der Ausstellung bilden 15 großformatige Nahaufnahmen, die zehn Menschen zeigen. Es sind Kriegsgefangene, die aus Nord- und Westafrika stammen und in einem Gefangenenlager fotografiert worden sind. Aber wie passen diese Fotografien zu unserem Bild vom Ersten Weltkrieg? Die Ausstellung hinterfragt genau diese Vorstellungen und erzählt die bisher wenig beachteten Geschichten und Zusammenhänge dieser Fotos.Die SoldatenEine halbe Millionen Männer aus den französischen Kolonien kämpften für Frankreich im Ersten Weltkrieg. Oft wurden sie unter Zwang rekrutiert. Dieser Einsatz gibt dem Terminus "Weltkrieg" erst seine wirklich globale Bedeutung. Auch auf britischer Seite kämpften viele Kanadier, Australier und vor allem Inder, auf russischer Seite oft muslimische Nicht-Russen aus Zentralasien und dem Kaukasus. Dabei gerieten viele in Gefangenschaft. In speziellen Lagern sammelten die Mittelmächte Deutschland und Österreich-Ungarn solche Soldaten ihrer Gegner, von denen sie hofften, sie könnten gegenüber den britischen und französischen Kolonialherren ihrer Herkunftsländer aktiv werden.Die WissenschaftDie kolonialen Kriegsgefangenen wurden in der Lagern auch zum Untersuchungsgegenstand von Forschern, die auf diese Weise ohne aufwendige Expeditionen Zugang zu Menschen verschiedenster Ethnien aus der ganzen Welt erhielten. Entsprechend den Gepflogenheiten einer in kolonialistischer Tradition stehenden Wissenschaft hat man sie mit Zirkeln vermessen, ihre Köpfe in Gips abgegossen und auf vorgebliche Rassenmerkmale untersucht; sie wurden gefilmt, etwa bei Festen in den Lagern, und ihre Musik und ihre Stimmen wurde auf Schallplatten und Wachswalzen aufgenommen. Wie sollen Museen heute mit solchen "sensiblen Sammlungen" umgehen?Die PropagandaViele deutsche Propagandaschriften, Postkarten und andere Darstellungen prangerten den Einsatz von schwarzen Soldaten, "wilden Bestien niedrigster Kulturstufe", im Kampf gegen die deutsche "Kulturnation" an. Und auch ein Ethnologe wie Leo Frobenius, der einerseits bei den Gefangenen Märchen und Mythen sammelte, veröffentlichte ein Buch (für das die gezeigten Fotografien entstanden), in dessen Einleitung er Frankreich und Großbritannien mit Dompteuren gleichsetzte.Die ErinnerungNicht nur während des Ersten Weltkrieges spielte ein rassistisch geprägtes Überlegenheitsgefühl eine Rolle. Als etwa während der Rheinlandbesetzung 1919 bis 1930 schwarze Soldaten als Besatzungstruppen eingesetzt wurden, rief dies unter der Parole "Schwarze Schmach" in der deutschen Öffentlichkeit große Empörung hervor. Heute erinnern nur wenige Friedhöfe und Gedenkstätten an die Präsenz und die Schicksale der Kolonialsoldaten. Die Ausstellung macht sich zur Aufgabe, den außereuropäischen Teilnehmern des "Großen Krieges" eine Stimme zu geben und auf einen der Ursprünge des Rassismus in unserer Gesellschaft aufmerksam zu machen.
