"Germany's Colonial Pasts" is a wide-ranging study of German
colonialism and its legacies. Inspired by Susanne Zantop's landmark
book "Colonial Fantasies," and extending her analyses there, this
volume offers new research by scholars from Europe, Africa, and the
United States. It also commemorates Zantop's distinguished life and
career (1945-2001). Some essays in this volume focus on Germany's
formal colonial empire in Africa and the Pacific between 1884 and
1914, while others present material from earlier or later periods
such as German emigration before 1884 and colonial discourse in
German-ruled Polish lands. Several essays examine Germany's
postcolonial era, a complex period that includes the Weimar
Republic, Nazi Germany with its renewed colonial obsessions, and
the post-1945 era. Particular areas of emphasis include the
relationship of anti-Semitism to colonial racism; respectability,
sexuality, and cultural hierarchies in the formal empire; Nazi
representations of colonialism; and contemporary perceptions of
race. The volume's disciplinary reach extends to musicology,
religious studies, film, and tourism studies as well as literary
analysis and history. These essays demonstrate why modern Germany
must confront its colonial and postcolonial pasts, and how those
pasts continue to shape the German cultural imagination.
