Reviews

German Colonialism in Africa and its Legacies provides welcome histories of German colonial art, architecture and visual culture while offering ground-breaking analyses of how contemporary and historic African and German stakeholders used such materials to forward their own agendas. * Steven Nelson, Dean, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, USA * This book produces a unique and highly informative understanding of the relationship between colonial architecture and urbanism. It persuasively demonstrates how architecture and the visual arts in Germany relied on the innate relationship between architecture, space, and race at the intersection of politics and economics. * - Volker Langbehn, Professor of German in the Department of Modern Languages and Literature, San Francisco State University, USA *
