"This valuable multidisciplinary anthology provides 17 chapters about dynamic and creative responses to German colonial rule from the 1820s until the 1990s and includes single-case and comparative studies of former colonies around the world. Drawing on recent scholarship in anthropology, art history, film studies, German studies, history, and literary studies, the collection illuminates colonial discourses by focusing on the experiences, practices, and responses of the colonized… The writing is lively and the arguments cogent. Overall, this is a fresh, new perspective… Highly recommended."--Choice
