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 UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781800730243?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781800730243 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781800730243/original ER -
