When Germany lost its colonial empire after the Great War, many
Germans were unsure how to understand this transition. They were
the first Europeans to experience complete colonial loss, an event
which came as Germany also wrestled with wartime collapse and
foreign occupation. In this book the author considers how Germans
experienced this change from imperial power to postcolonial nation.
This work examines what the loss of the colonies meant to Germans,
and it analyzes how colonialist categories took on new meanings in
Germany's « post-colonial period. Poley explores a varied
collection of materials that ranges from the stories of popular
writer Hanns Heinz Ewers to the novels, essays, speeches,
pamphlets, posters, and archival materials of nationalist groups in
the occupied Rhineland to show how decolonization affected Germans.
When the relationships between metropole and colony were suddenly
severed, Germans were required to reassess many things: nation and
empire, race and power, sexuality and gender, economics and
culture.
