Even leaving aside the vast death and suffering that it wrought on
indigenous populations, German ambitions to transform Southwest
Africa in the early part of the twentieth century were futile for
most. For years colonists wrestled ocean waters, desert landscapes,
and widespread aridity as they tried to reach inland in their
effort of turning outwardly barren lands into a profitable settler
colony. In his innovative environmental history, Martin Kalb
outlines the development of the colony up to World War I,
deconstructing the common settler narrative, all to reveal the
importance of natural forces and the Kaisereich's everyday
violence.
