„Deutschland, deine Kolonien“

An introduction to German colonial history - now in paperback
Germany - a colonial power? The legend of the timid little would-be colonial power that behaved more civilly than others is gradually beginning to falter. And rightly so, because the German Empire exploited colonised countries in Africa, China and the South Seas no less greedily and violently than other colonial powers.

This book traces German colonialism from its beginnings and offers insights into everyday life in the colonised countries through impressive eyewitness accounts and illustrations. Above all, however, it shows how the consequences of German colonialism are still being felt and why a broad social debate about this era is long overdue.

Features: with illustrations.
