Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Herero-German war led to the destruction of Herero society in all of its pre-war facets. Yet Herero society re-emerged, re-organizing itself around the structures and beliefs of the German colonial army and Rhenish missionary activity. Taking advantage of the South African invasion of Namibia in World War I the Herero established themselves in areas of their own choosing. The effective re-occupation of land by the Herero forced the new colonial state, anxious to maintain peace and cut costs, to come to terms with the existence of Herero society. The study ends in 1923 when the death and funeral of Samuel Maherero - first paramount of the Herero and then resistance leader - the catalyst that brought the disparate groups of Herero together to establish a single unitary Herero identity.

Book Synopsis The Herero Genocide by : Matthias Häussler
Download or read book The Herero Genocide written by Matthias Häussler and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on previously inaccessible and overlooked archival sources, The Herero Genocide undertakes a groundbreaking investigation into the war between colonizer and colonized in what was formerly German South-West Africa and is today the nation of Namibia. In addition to its eye-opening depictions of the starvation, disease, mass captivity, and other atrocities suffered by the Herero, it reaches surprising conclusions about the nature of imperial dominion, showing how the colonial state’s genocidal posture arose from its own inherent weakness and military failures. The result is an indispensable account of a genocide that has been neglected for too long.
Book Synopsis Germany's Genocide of the Herero by : Jeremy Sarkin-Hughes
Download or read book Germany's Genocide of the Herero written by Jeremy Sarkin-Hughes and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2011 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study recounts the reasons why the order for the Herero genocide was very likely issued by the Kaiser himself, and why proof of this has not emerged before now. In 1904, the indigenous Herero people of German South West Africa (now Namibia) rebelled against their German occupiers. In the following four years, the German army retaliated, killing between 60,000 and 100,000 Herero people, one of the worst atrocities ever. The history of the Herero genocide remains a key issue for many around the world partly because the German policy not to pay reparations for the Namibian genocide contrasts with its long-standing Holocaust reparations policy. The Herero case bears not only on transitional justice issues throughout Africa, but also on legal issues elsewhere in the world where reparations for colonial injustices have been called for. This book explores the events within the context of German South West Africa (GSWA) as the only German colony where settlement was actually attempted. The study contends that the genocide was not the work of one rogue general or the practices of the military, but that it was inexorably propelled by Germany's national goals at the time. The book argues that the Herero genocide was linked to Germany's late entry into the colonial race, which led it frenetically and ruthlessly to acquire multiple colonies all over the world within a very short period, using any means available.

Book Synopsis The Inevitable Pipeline into Exile by : Alexander Mller
Download or read book The Inevitable Pipeline into Exile written by Alexander Mller and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012-12-29 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role played by Botswana in various southern African liberation struggles has previously been neglected in historical studies. The countrys politics of support and mobilisation early on in Namibias struggle for independence from South Africa proved crucial for the formative period of both nation states. Botswanas difficult and contradictory position as neighbour of the South African apartheid state and colonial power in Namibia are carefully dealt with, as are the challenges faced by the fragile Namibian refugee networks and liberation movements, SWANU and SWAPO, operating in Botswana for decades. The Inevitable Pipeline into Exile deals with a crucial phase of nationalism and transnational politics during the period of southern African decolonisation at the height of South Africas diplomatic and military aggression throughout the region.

Book Synopsis God’s Feet or the Mission’s Pack Donkey by : Hans-Martin Milk
Download or read book God’s Feet or the Mission’s Pack Donkey written by Hans-Martin Milk and published by BASLER AFRIKA BIBLIOGRAPHIEN. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book originates from the self-description of Namibian Evangelists in their own words. African evangelists of the Rhenish Mission Society (RMS) played a crucial but mostly overlooked role in shaping the spiritual and social networks that transformed indigenous communities from the early nineteenth century. The author draws from a wide range of German, Namibian and South African archival sources that have been supplemented with a large number of interviews, to explore the history of the indigenous evangelists of the RMS. African supporters were often the first heralds of the new religion at remote villages and cattle posts before the white strangers made an appearance. The Namibian evangelists’ familiarity with the traditional culture and the local vernacular endowed them with a credibility that many of the European newcomers found difficult to acquire. By interweaving mission and church history between 1820 and 1990 with a biographical approach, the author brings a hidden chapter in Namibian history to life.
