During this period, dramatically different policies were enacted in the colonies: in Southwest Africa, German troops carried out a brutal slaughter of the Herero people; in Samoa, authorities pursued a paternalistic defense of native culture; in Qingdao, China, policy veered between harsh racism and cultural exchange. Why did the same colonizing power act in such differing ways? In The Devil?s Handwriting, George Steinmetz tackles this question through a brilliant cross-cultural analysis of German colonia 1884 - 1918 fast Geschichte 1884-1918 gnd rswk-swf POLITICAL SCIENCE / Colonialism & Post-Colonialism bisacsh Colonies fast Colonies / Race relations fast Imperialism fast International relations fast Internationale Politik Kolonie Imperialism Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 gnd rswk-swf Außenpolitik (DE-588)4003846-4 gnd rswk-swf Samoainseln (DE-588)4051505-9 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 gnd rswk-swf Namibia (DE-588)4075202-1 gnd rswk-swf Tsingtau (DE-588)4061118-8 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 g Außenpolitik (DE-588)4003846-4 s Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 s Tsingtau (DE-588)4061118-8 g Geschichte 1884-1918 z 1\p DE-604 Samoainseln (DE-588)4051505-9 g 2\p DE-604 Namibia (DE-588)4075202-1 g 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 0-226-77241-1 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 0-226-77243-8 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-226-77241-7 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-0-226-77243-1 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=260235 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
