Intimacy, comradeship and everyday police violence
This article asks whether and how gendered violence was part of the quotidian activity of state building in German South West Africa. Investigating the intimate space of a police compound, it gives a micro-historical account of how interracial sexual relations unfolded there, and how policemen's private, intimate affairs were subject to close scrutiny by the colonial state. Rape - as distinctively masculine violence - posed a notably delicate pro…
Klaus Bachmann. Genocidal Empires
The German historian and political scientist Klaus Bachmann, an expert in German-Polish relations after World War II and more recently interested in international law and transitional justice, has ventured into new territory: African and German colonial history. With Genocidal Empires: German Colonialism in Africa and the Third Reich, Bachmann claims to answer two major questions that have been preoccupying scholars for at least two decades now: …
Violence as Usual
Slaps in the face, kicks, beatings, and other forms of run-of-the-mill violence were a quotidian part of life in German Southwest Africa at the beginning of the twentieth century.

The book begins by providing a background on the power of everyday violenc…

Honneur masculin et violence policière ordinaire
Cet article s'interroge sur la place de la violence sexuelle dans les activités quotidiennes de l'État colonial du Sud-Ouest africain allemand. Acteurs les plus visibles de cet État, les policiers cherchaient à vivre une masculinité ancrée dans les notion d'honneur, de martialité et de professionnalisme. Leur honneur était en même temps celui de l'État colonial en entier. Des actes de violence spécifiquement masculine, comme le viol, commis par s…
Honourable Soldier-Bureaucrats
Policing in German Southwest Africa (1905–18) fell to a small force of German and African men called the Landespolizei. Charged with representing the colonial state and with claiming the monopoly of legitimate use of physical force, the policemen struggled to assert authority towards both the settler and the colonised population. The identities that emerged out of this uneasy position are the object of inquiry of this article.I argue that honour …
