It focuses on the construction of a hierarchical social order in German Southwest Africa in the period 1884-1914. In doing so it explores the historical creation of categories of race and the construction of a concept of whiteness within white settler society in Germany's foremost settler colony. In the colonial environment the presence of some settlers was deemed to be more desirable than others. As a consequence policies of exclusion and racial rhetoric were employed to exclude undesirable settlers from white society. What emerged was a pioneer society in which undesirable settlers were socially, politically and economically excluded whilst desirable settlers sought to forge a racially and culturally exclusive utopia. Based on extensive archival material from the Bundesarchiv in Berlin as well as a wide range of printed sources, the book presents an insight into strategies of social control, power, the establishment of social privilege and constructions of whiteness in a settler society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Ltd, International Academic Publis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813574590615,"sku":"9783039110605","price":6153.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783039110605.webp?v=1778336922","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/exclusion-and-inclusion-gradations-of-whiteness-and-socio-economic-engineering-in-german-southwest-africa-1884-1914-9783039110605","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
