Reviews

Violence as Usual greatly expands our understanding of colonial relations on the frontier-a well-crafted work of history. -- Matthew P. Fitzpatrick, Flinders University, author of <I>Liberal Imperialism in Germany</I>


Violence as Usual offers an important contribution to the role of localized violence and the evolution of the colonial state in German Southwest Africa... Marie Muschalek provides a compelling narrative that will hopefully inspire more scholarship on local actors and their role in Germany's global empire. * CENTRAL EUROPEAN HISTORY *
