Excellent- More about Environing Empire: Nature, Infrastructure and the Making of German Southwest Africa
German ambitions to transform Southwest Africa in the early twentieth century were futile due to natural forces and the Kaisereichs everyday violence. Martin Kalb's innovative environmental history deconstructs the common settler narrative.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 322 pages
Publication date: 01 March 2024
Publisher: Berghahn Books
German aspirations to transform Southwest Africa in the early twentieth century were futile for the majority, even ignoring the enormous death and suffering it caused to indigenous populations. Colonists battled ocean waters, arid landscapes, and widespread aridity for years as they attempted to reach inland in their quest to turn outwardly barren lands into a profitable settler colony. Martin Kalb, in his ground-breaking environmental history, deconstructs the conventional settler narrative to demonstrate the significance of natural forces and the Kaisereich's daily violence.
The colony's development up to World War I is outlined in Martin Kalb's innovative environmental history, which also challenges the conventional settler narrative. In order to demonstrate the importance of natural forces and the Kaisereich's daily violence, he deconstructs the common settler narrative.
