Abstract

Rosa B. Schneider examines in her dissertation Um Scholle und Leben (On Earth Clods and Life) the construction of “race” and gender in German colonial literature around 1900 at the point where history and literary studies interface. The ambitious promises of the introduction, however, cannot all be held. The author is able to nevertheless successfully compensate for this by the generous appearance of “aha-effects” spread throughout her study. She thus intervenes in recent debates of both disciplines in a readable manner.
