- More about German Rule, African Subjects: State Aspirations and the Reality of Power in Colonial Namibia
German colonial rule in South West Africa lasted 30 years and resulted in the first genocide of the twentieth century against the Herero and Nama. The colonial government's efforts to establish a "model colony" and "racial state" had destructive and long-lasting consequences, leading to profound immiseration of the African population. This classic study provides an indispensable account of Germany's colonial utopia in present-day Namibia.

German colonial rule in South West Africa had a profound and lasting impact, lasting only thirty years. The colonial government not only perpetrated the first genocide of the twentieth century against the Herero and Nama, but also pursued a policy of "model colony" and "racial state" that had devastating consequences. In this groundbreaking study, originally published in German, the author offers an essential account of Germany's colonial utopia in present-day Namibia. Despite the highly rationalized planning of the Wilhelmine authorities, their efforts ultimately failed, leading to the profound immiseration of the African population. This study is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complexities of colonialism and its enduring legacy.
