Race and Realpolitik: The Politics of Colonisation in German Samoa
ISBN: 9783631393802 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. German colonisation in Samoa from 1900 to 1914 was characterised by the interplay of conflicting definitions of race. The central question this study asks is to what extent, and in which ways, ideologies of race shaped German colonial policy in Samoa. It analyses the administration s paternalist development policies, debates over white settlement, the introduction and treatment of indentured labourers, and the legal classification of mixed marriages and half-castes. The author argues that rather than uniting the colonising community in a racist mission of domination, racial thought...

The question of how Germanness could be defined was at the core of German political and social debate long...

Im Gegensatz dazu gibt Wolfskehls Briefwechsel mit Otti und Paul Binswanger einen nicht stilisierten Einblick in das aussere wie innere Leben des gemeinsam geteilten Exils am anderen Ende der Welt, wo man freilich uber 1000 km voneinander getrennt lebte: der Dichter in Auckland und der Gelehrte mit seiner kunstlerisch...
