Only in recent years has the history of European colonial
concentration camps in Africa-in which thousands of prisoners died
in appalling conditions-become widely known beyond a handful of
specialists. Although they preceded the Third Reich by many
decades, the camps' newfound notoriety has led many to ask to what
extent they anticipated the horrors of the Holocaust. Were they
designed for mass killing, a misbegotten attempt at modernization,
or something else entirely? A Sad Fiasco confronts this difficult
question head-on, reconstructing the actions of colonial officials
in both British South Africa and German South-West Africa as well
as the experiences of internees to explore both the similarities
and the divergences between the African camps and their Nazi-era
successors.
