Lenny Ureña Valerio's book, Colonial Fantasies, Imperial Realities, takes a transnational approach to exploring Polish-German relations and nineteenth-century colonial subjectivities. Through her in-depth investigation of key cultural dynamics in the fields of medicine, colonialism, and migration, Ureña Valerio brings Germany and Prussian Poland closer to the colonial and postcolonial worlds in Africa and Latin America. She also delves into how Poles in the German Empire positioned themselves in relation to Germans and native populations in overseas colonies. By recasting Polish perspectives and experiences, Ureña Valerio offers fresh insights into identity formation and nationalist movements within the German Empire. Moreover, she examines the medical projects and scientific ideas that traversed from colonies to the German metropole and vice versa, exerting significant influence on the racialization of Slavic populations and shaping scientific conceptions of race within the German Empire.
Colonial Fantasies, Imperial Realities employs a diverse range of sources, including medical texts, state documents, travel literature, and fiction, to illuminate the intricate web of nested imperial and colonial relations. By studying these scientific and political debates, Ureña Valerio unveils novel ways to connect medicine, migration, and colonialism, providing a compelling model for analyzing Polish history from a global perspective.
This book is a valuable contribution to the field of history, offering a fresh and insightful perspective on the complex interplay between medicine, migration, and colonialism in nineteenth-century Europe. It will be of interest to scholars, students, and anyone with an interest in the history of these subjects.
