This is the first paperback edition of a book which originally appeared under the title "South-West Africa Under German Rule", and appears with a new introduction by the author. The history of Namibia offers many parallels to developments in other European colonies. The settlers, with a greater or lesser use of force, established themselves in the country and their confrontation with the African population often culminated in rebellion in the area of major settlement; a European settler community would then consolidate itself over the ruins left by military conquest. The pattern was repeated in Namibia during the Nama and Herero wars. Helmut Bley shows how the roots of German totalitarianism stem from the colonial period. He provides a picture of how social insecurity, bureaucracy and rigid economic thinking produced the racialism and the extremism of the last years of German rule. The abuse of the Africans provided the roots of the abuse of the Jews.

When World War I brought an end to German colonial rule in Namibia, much of the German population stayed on. The German community, which had managed to deal with colonial administration, faced new challenges when the region became a South African mandate under the League of Nations in 1919. One of these was the issue of Germanness, which ultimately resulted in public conversations and expressions of identity. In Creating Germans Abroad, Daniel Walther examines this discourse and provides striking new insights into the character of the German populace in both Germany and its former colony, Southwest Africa, known today as Namibia. In addition to German colonialism, Walther considers issues of race, class, and gender and the activities of minority groups. He offers new perspectives on German cultural and national identity during the Empire, the Weimar Republic, and the Third Reich. In a larger context, Creating Germans Abroad acts as a model for investigating the strategies and motivations of groups and individuals engaged in national or ethnic engineering and demonstrates how unforeseen circumstances can affect the nature and outcome of these endeavors.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Bevölkerungsgeographie, Stadt- u. Raumplanung, Note: 1,3, Universität Potsdam (Geographisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Nationale Minderheiten in Deutschland - Deutsche Minderheiten im außereuorpäischen Ausland, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Das an der Südwestküste Afrikas gelegene Namibia ist wahrhaftig ein Land merkwürdiger Kontraste. Trotz seiner Größe ist das Land eins der am dünnsten besiedelten Länder Afrikas mit einer geschätzten Einwohnerzahl von 1,83 Millionen Menschen. Die Bevölkerung Namibias ist vielfältig und variiert vom Hirtenvolk der Himba im Nordosten und San im Osten zu Weißen europäischer Herkunft“, kann der interessierte Leser auf der Website der nambischen Botschaft in Deutschland erfahren. Innerhalb dieser weißen Bevölkerungsgruppe stellt die deutschstämmige Minderheit mit ihren rund 20.000 Mitgliedern nach den Buren den zweitgrößten Exponenten. Trotz ihrer vergleichsweise geringen Zahl besitzen sie aufgrund ihrer ökonomischen Potenz eine große Bedeutung für das erst seit 21.03.1990 unabhängige Land. Ihre Existenz kann aber nur verstanden werden, wenn ihre Entstehungsgeschichte im Kontext des Kolonialismus des späten 19. Jahrhunderts betrachtet wird. Daher wird ein Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit auf der Beleuchtung der historischen Zusammenhänge liegen. Dies unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der deutschen Kolonialzeit, welche zwar nur rund 30 Jahre von 1884 bis 1915 umfaßte, aber aufgrund ihrer Prägekraft noch heute massive Spuren im psychischer und physischer Form hinterlassen hat. Weiterhin soll ein zweiter Schwerpunkt auf der heutigen Situation der Deutsch-Namibier liegen. Dabei werden folgende Fragen im Mittelpunkt stehen: Existiert eine spezifisch deutsche Identität im Land? Falls ja, wie manifestiert sich diese und welche Ursachen hat sie?

Since Namibia's Independence in 1990, a variety of English words have come into use, referring predominantly to political developments but also to changes in society in general. As German is one of the national languages in Namibia, these vocabulary changes also need to be expressed in this language. Yet because these terms are specific to the Namibian context, equivalent words cannot always be found in existing German dictionaries. Professor Marianne Zappen-Thomson, head of the German Section at the University of Namibia (UNAM), together with UNAM post-graduate students and colleagues from the University of Duisburg-Essen and the University of Bonn, in Germany, have coined appropriate terminology to express as accurately as possible the given English vocabulary in German. The aim is not to duplicate what can be found in existing dictionaries, but rather to elaborate on these with the unique situation of Namibia in mind, and to standardize the use of this terminology.

A frank, graphic, autobiographical account of white colonial rule in Africa, first published in an English translation nearly eighty years after it was written. "I wish that I could have seen this book when I was conducting my research in the early 1990s" - Professor Dr Jan-Bart Gewald, Leiden University "A vivid and detailed experience... one gets goose-bumps just reading it" - Dr Martha Akawa, University of Namibia In 1942, in a Cape Town boarding house, Eugen Mansfeld painstakingly typed out his life story, in German, on 179 pages of lined paper. He was entirely alone: one son killed during the Nazi invasion of Normandy; two other sons interned in South Africa; his wife trapped while holidaying in Germany at the outbreak of the Second World War. Mansfeld's autobiography spanned seventy years. Buying ostrich feathers and antelope pelts in the Eastern Cape in the 1890s; managing farms and trading in the remote canyons and deserts of German South-West Africa (now Namibia); fighting to preserve German colonial rule in a bloody, genocidal war against the Herero people in 1904-5; robbing Bushman graves to add to his grotesque collection of skulls; picking up gemstones from the desert sands during the diamond rush in the 1900s; and taking arms in a desert campaign against the British Empire during the First World War. Grave-robber; soldier; diamond-dealer; executioner; horse-trader... Mansfeld's personal history of the "scramble for Africa" is gritty, shocking and unashamed; a scarce autobiographical account of the brutality and inhumanity of the colonisation process published for the first time nearly eighty years after its creation.

Forty years before the war of annihilation in eastern Europe and the Holocaust, German colonial troops in German South West Africa perpetrated the first genocide of the twentieth century. From Windhoek to Auschwitz? interrogates the relationship between colonialism and National Socialism, using genocide, the 'racial state', and systems of forced labour as points of departure for comparative observation. The book is an indispensable document in the intensive debate among German and international scholars about the postcolonial expansion of German history, and it offers a fresh look at the history of colonialism and also the 'Third Reich'.
