Book Synopsis Anthropology's Global Histories by : Rainer F. Buschmann
Download or read book Anthropology's Global Histories written by Rainer F. Buschmann and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropologists and world historians make strange bedfellows. Although the latter frequently employ anthropological methods in their descriptions of cross-cultural exchanges, the former have raised substantial reservations about global approaches to history. Fearing loss of specificity, anthropologists object to the effacing qualities of techniques employed by world historians—this despite the fact that anthropology itself was a global, comparative enterprise in the nineteenth century.Rainer Buschmann here seeks to recover some of anthropology’s global flavor by viewing its history in Oceania through the notion of the ethnographic frontier—the furthermost limits of the anthropologically known regions of the Pacific. The colony of German New Guinea (1884–1914) presents an ideal example of just such a contact zone. Colonial administrators there were drawn to approaches partially inspired by anthropology. Anthropologists and museum officials exploited this interest by preparing large-scale expeditions to German New Guinea. Buschmann explores the resulting interactions between German colonial officials, resident ethnographic collectors, and indigenous peoples, arguing that all were instrumental in the formation of anthropological theory. He shows how changes in collecting aims and methods helped shift ethnographic study away from its focus on material artifacts to a broader consideration of indigenous culture. He also shows how ethnological collecting, often a competitive affair, could become politicized and connect to national concerns. Finally, he places the German experience in the broader context of Euro-American anthropology. Anthropology's Global Histories will interest students and scholars of anthropology, history, world history, and Pacific studies.

Book Synopsis Pacific Islanders Under German Rule by : Peter J. Hempenstall
Download or read book Pacific Islanders Under German Rule written by Peter J. Hempenstall and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an important book. It is a reprint of the first detailed study of how Pacific Islanders responded politically and economically to their rulers across the German empire of the Pacific. Under one cover, it captures the variety of interactions between the various German colonial administrations, with their separate approaches, and the leaders and people of Samoa in Polynesia, the major island centre of Pohnpei in Micronesia and the indigenes of New Guinea. Drawing on anthropology, new Pacific history insights and a range of theoretical works on African and Asian resistance from the 1960s and 1970s, it reveals the complexities of Islander reactions and the nature of protests against German imperial rule. It casts aside old assumptions that colonised peoples always resisted European colonisers. Instead, this book argues convincingly that Islander responses were often intelligent and subtle manipulations of their rulers’ agendas, their societies dynamic enough to make their own adjustments to the demands of empire. It does not shy away from major blunders by German colonial administrators, nor from the strategic and tactical mistakes of Islander leaders. At the same time, it raises the profile of several large personalities on both sides of the colonial frontier, including Lauaki Namulau’ulu Mamoe and Wilhelm Solf in Samoa; Henry Nanpei, Georg Fritz and Karl Boeder in Pohnpei; or Governor Albert Hahl and Po Minis from Manus Island in New Guinea.

Book Synopsis Imperial German Colonial and Overseas Troops 1885–1918 by : Alejandro de Quesada

This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells and illustrates the little-known story of Germany's 30-year episode as a colonial power in Africa and the Pacific, and her enclave in China. Under the ambitious young Kaiser Wilhelm II, rivalry with the old colonial powers saw the protectorates originally established by trading companies transformed into crown colonies, garrisoned by the newly raised Schutztruppe with emergency support from the Imperial Navy's Sea Battalions. This book explains their organization and operations, including the horrific 1904-07 Herero campaign in Southwest Africa. It is illustrated with rare photos, and with color plates detailing a wide variety of the uniforms of German and native troops alike.

Book Synopsis Explorations and Entanglements by : Hartmut Berghoff
Download or read book Explorations and Entanglements written by Hartmut Berghoff and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, Germany has been considered a minor player in Pacific history: its presence there was more limited than that of other European nations, and whereas its European rivals established themselves as imperial forces beginning in the early modern era, Germany did not seriously pursue colonialism until the nineteenth century. Yet thanks to recent advances in the field emphasizing transoceanic networks and cultural encounters, it is now possible to develop a more nuanced understanding of the history of Germans in the Pacific. The studies gathered here offer fascinating research into German missionary, commercial, scientific, and imperial activity against the backdrop of the Pacific’s overlapping cultural circuits and complex oceanic transits.
Book Synopsis The German Colonial Experience by : Arthur J. Knoll
Download or read book The German Colonial Experience written by Arthur J. Knoll and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German Colonial Experience provides readers with an understanding of how the Germans gained, explored, pacified, ruled, and exploited their colonies prior to their loss in World War I. Knoll and Hiery show how Africans, Chinese, and Pacific Islanders reacted to German rule, how the Germans ran the daily affairs of government, their vision for the colonized peoples, and how the colonizers and the colonized perceived one another. In other words, how did German colonial rule actually work? This book intensely scrutinizes colonial documents, most of them in German script, from archives not only in Germany, but also from places such as Australia, New Guinea, and Samoa. Many of these documents have never previously been published, even in the original German.
Download or read book Our New Possession written by J. Lyng and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our New Possession: Late German New Guinea Having in my younger days received a military training and been a commissioned officer in the Danish army, and later on having held a commission in the Commonwealth forces, it became my duty, at the outbreak of war, to volunteer for service abroad. The Naval Board, on learning of my qualifications as a linguist, requested me to proceed to the fleet as interpreter to Admiral Patey. After the capture of German New Guinea and the appointment of Colonel Holmes as military administrator I was transferred to the occupying force. To my duties as official interpreter was for a considerable time added that of military censor of foreign mail. I was also appointed Government Printer, and in this capacity became editor of the "Government Gazette," and later on of the "Rabaul Record." The knowledge I acquired of German New Guinea in the carrying out of my various duties, and by coming in touch with German records and literature, was added to by personal observations made in different parts of the Possession, and by a term of service as district officer and officer in command of the garrison at Madang, on the New Guinea coast. The chapter "How the Germans Came into the Pacific" was written for the "Rabaul Record" by Lieut. Leach, and has been included in this book by his courtesy.

Book Synopsis The Papuan Languages of New Guinea by : William A. Foley
Download or read book The Papuan Languages of New Guinea written by William A. Foley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1986-11-20 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to the descriptive and historical linguistics of the Papuan languages of New Guinea provide an accessible account of one of the richest and most diverse linguistic situations in the world. The Papuan languages number over 700 (or 20 per cent of the world's total) in more than sixty language families. Less than a quarter of the individual languages have yet been adequately documented, and in this sense William Foley's book might be considered premature. However, in the search for language universals and generalisations in linguistic typology, it would be foolhardy to neglect the information that is available. In this respect alone, the present volume, systematically organised on mainly typology principles, is particularly timely and useful. In addition, the processes of linguistic diffusion are present in New Guinea to an extent probably paralleled elsewhere on the globe. The Papuan Languages of New Guinea will be of interest not only to general and comparative linguists and to typologists, but also to sociolinguists and anthropologists for the information it provides on the social dynamics of language content.
