New Perspectives on the History of Gender and Empire
New Perspectives on the History of Gender and Empire extends our understanding of the gendered workings of empires, colonialism and imperialism, taking up recent impulses from gender history, new imperial history and global history. The authors apply new theoretical and methodological approaches to historical case studies around the globe in order to redefine the complex relationship between gender and empire. The chapters deal not only with ‘typ…

Introduction
Indentured Labour in Sub-Saharan Africa (1880-1918)
Transcending Gender Roles, Crossing Racial and Political Boundaries
Agnes Hill, the unmarried daughter of a British landowner and farmer and his mixed-race wife, was living a ‘white’ farmer’s life in the colony German South West Africa. In 1908, she was suddenly classified as ‘native’, due to the enforcement of radical racial legislation in the German colony degrading the offspring of mixed-race people as ‘bastards’. The new classification would have had dire consequences for the whole family, especially in respe…
Bonded Labour
Parallel to the abolition of Atlantic slavery, new forms of indentured labour stilled global capitalism's need for cheap, disposable labour. The famous 'coolie trade' - mainly Asian labourers transferred to French and British islands in the Indian Ocean, Australia, Indonesia, South Africa, the Caribbean, the Americas, as well as to Portuguese colonies in Africa - was one of the largest migration movements in global history. Indentured contract wo…
The transfer of European social policy concepts to tropical Africa, 1900–50
Concerns about a sinking birth rate and possible ‘national degeneration’ led to the implementation of various measures in maternal and child welfare across Europe at the dawn of the twentieth century. Infant health was strongly connected with the idea of population as both a national and imperial resource. In the colonies of the imperial powers, similar issues started to be addressed later, mostly after the First World War, when colonial administ…
Transnational movements between colonial empires
Before the First World War, there were significant transnational movements and interactions between colonies of different European powers in imperial Africa, a fact that is often neglected in research on imperial and colonial history. The paper addresses such movements, taking the town of Lüderitzbucht in the German colony of South West Africa as an example. Here, from 1908 onwards, a diamond boom attracted migrant workers from other colonies on …
Gendering Historiography 7-9 November 2007, Hamburg
Over the last thirty years gender has become a fairly respected category within history, spanning a broad range of research and generating a wealth of studies, especially in the Anglo-American context. However, there have been far fewer attempts – especially in Germany – to discuss the influence of gender on historiography, on the historical canon and on writing history in general. The international conference ‘Gendering Historiography’ was desig…
Indentured Labour in Sub-Saharan Africa (1880-1918)
Generally, the banning of the slave trade after 1806, and finally the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1834, triggered a new, highly regulated system of indentured labour.Asian indentured labourers were used worldwide by the British Empire and by other colonial powers to meet the demand for contract work on plantations (sugar, tea) and in mines -generally, in places where the employers were not willing to rely upon free labour and wh…
Colonialism as a European Project in Africa before 1914
Der Artikel untersucht das deutsche und britische Kolonialengagement in Afrika vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Er analysiert, in welchem Maße unterschiedliche nationale Kolonialkonzepte identifiziert werden können, wie sich die Kolonialmächte gegenseitig wahrnahmen und inwiefern gemeinsame Formen der Kolonisation oder der Kooperation in Afrika bestanden. Außerdem wird gezeigt, wie sehr die afrikanische Bevölkerung in Interaktion mit den Kolonisierenden…
