Picturing Africa and documenting war
During First World War, thousands of British soldiers were sent to fight in German East Africa, often unaware of their deployment until en route. Many brought cameras, capturing images of African landscapes, people, and wildlife. Their unprepared encounter offers unique insights into British perceptions of colonial Africa. Their photographs, shaped by imperial aesthetics, contrast their role as soldiers in a brutal campaign. This article examines…
Introduction
The period between the 1890s and the 1930s witnessed the apex of European imperialism, the eruption of global conflict, and the rise of national independence movements across colonised territories. Over these decades photography also matured, both as a technology and as a medium used to document and to influence. The five articles contained in this special issue collectively explore how photography interplayed with the other transformations of th…
Between intimacy and violence
During the First World War, Britain assembled in British East Africa (Kenya) imperial troops from across Africa, India, Europe and the West Indies for the conquest of German East Africa (Tanzania). This moment of inter-imperial and international encounter between white British and colonial soldiers is explored in this chapter. Firstly, the process of observation, adaptation and subjugation is explored among the newly arriving soldiers from Britai…
Colonial Encounters in a Time of Global Conflict, 1914–1918
This volume gathers an international cast of scholars to examine the unprecedented range of colonial encounters during the First World War. More than four million men of color, and an even greater number of white Europeans and Americans, crisscrossed the globe. Others, in occupied areas, behind the warzone or in neutral countries, were nonetheless swept into the maelstrom. From local encounters in New Zealand, Britain and East Africa to army camp…
Shifting Tides
Port cities across the world were deeply affected by the First World War. They had to adapt quickly to the influx of soldiers and labourers, as well as to resulting population changes that challenged and strained local structures. The pressure of these changes was especially felt in colonial port cities, as new arrivals – from abroad and from the hinterland – had the potential to undermine colonial order and control. In the period of 1914-1918 co…
Postcolonial Germany
Recent decades have witnessed increased academic and political engagement with Germany’s colonial past, especially in relation to its former African colonies in present-day Tanzania, Togo, Cameroon

Colonialism, Antisemitism, and Germans of Jewish Descent in Imperial Germany
In this book, Christian S. Davis investigates the connections between antisemitism and colonialism during the three decades of Germany’s overseas empire, 1884 to 1914. Davis’s research contributes to the ongoing debate about the ideological continuity between Germany’s colonial activities and the atrocities committed by the NS regime thirty years later. The book’s main argument is based on the assumption of interdependence between colonialism and…
Chapter Six. Defending The Heimat
This chapter examines wartime mobilization of German settlers in Africa with particular reference to the German concept of Heimat . It focuses on the two German Schutzgebiete which had the largest white populations and that experienced the most protracted fighting during the war, German South-West Africa (now Namibia) and German East Africa (now mainly Tanzania). The central thesis of the chapter is that the African context challenged the identit…
