In German minds, colonial development would depend on the relationship between East Africans and the landscape. Colonial Geography argues that the most important element in German imperialism was not its violence but its attempts to apply racial thinking to the mastery and control of space. Utilizing approaches drawn from critical geography, the book argues that the development of a representational space of empire had serious consequences for German colonialism and the population of East Africa. Colonial Geography shows how spatial thinking shaped ideas about race and empire in the period of New Imperialism."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 11, 2022) Subject HISTORY / Europe / Germany Colonization German colonies Historical geography Race relations SUBJECT German East Africa -- Historical geography German East Africa -- Race relations German East Africa -- Colonization German East Africa -- History Germany -- Colonies -- Africa -- History Subject Africa Africa -- German East Africa Genre/Form History Form Electronic book ISBN 9781487543419 1487543417 9781487543426 1487543425
