In responding to the perceived threat posed by venereal diseases in
Germany's colonies, doctors took a biopolitical approach that
employed medical and bourgeois discourses of modernization, health,
productivity, and morality. Their goal was to change the behavior
of targeted groups, or at least to isolate infected individuals
from the healthy population. However, the Africans, Pacific
Islanders, and Asians they administered to were not passive
recipients of these strategies. Rather, their behavior strongly
influenced the efficacy and nature of these public health measures.
While an apparent degree of compliance was achieved, over time
physicians increasingly relied on disciplinary measures beyond what
was possible in Germany in order to enforce their policies.
Ultimately, through their discourses and actions they contributed
to the justification for and the maintenance of German colonialism.
