German Colonialism Revisited
Subtitle
African, Asian, and Oceanic Experiences
Edited by Patrice Ngangang, Nina Berman and Klaus Mühlhahn
"German Colonialism Revisited" brings together military historians, art historians, literary scholars, cultural theorists, and linguists to address a range of issues surrounding colonized 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 colonized and the colonizers emerged changed.
