Osterhammel's book represents a new approach to the subject. The
concise but sweeping study encompasses the process of colonization
and decolonization from the early modern period to the twentieth
century. Virtually all other studies to date have looked at
strategies of colonial conquest, exploitation, and rule from the
imperial point of view. Osterhammel shows that the colonial
situation developed in ways that duplicated neither the metropolis
nor the pre-colonial society, but instead blended these and added a
new direction characteristic only of colonial realms. He emphasizes
that the Europeans were normally not considered dangerous invaders
by local populations until they threatened the traditional cultures
with missionaries, European schools, and bureaucracy.
