Norwegians in colonial Africa and Oceania had varying aspirations
and adapted in different ways to changing social, political and
geographical circumstances in foreign, colonial settings. They
included Norwegian shipowners, captains, and diplomats; traders and
whalers along the African coast and in Antarctica; large-scale
plantation owners in Mozambique and Hawai'i; big business men in
South Africa; jacks of all trades in the Solomon Islands; timber
merchants on Zanzibar' coffee farmers in Kenya; and King Leopold's
footmen in Congo. This collection reveals narratives of the
colonial era that are often ignored or obscured by the national
histories of former colonial powers. It charts the entrepreneurial
routes chosen by various Norwegians and the places they ventured,
while demonstrating the importance of recognizing the complicity of
such "non-colonial colonials" for understanding the complexity of
colonial history.
