Abstract

The history of the German nation, its colonial projects, as well as racism has hitherto been written respectively as a history of the systematic exclusion of women. However, newer research has pointed to the engagement and involvement of white women in the colonies and metropolises. Anette Dietrich’s monograph takes one more step: She examines the conceptual relations between the debates on emancipation, sketches of the identity of the bourgeois women’s movement, and the discourses on nation, colony, and ‘race.’
