{"product_id":"exclusion-and-inclusion-von-robbie-aitken","title":"Exclusion and Inclusion","description":"This book sets out to examine the internal workings of a colonial settler society drawing on aspects of post-colonial theory and whiteness studies. It focuses on the construction of a hierarchical social order in German Southwest Africa in the period 1884-1914. In doing so it explores the historical creation of categories of race and the construction of a concept of whiteness within white settler society in Germany’s foremost settler colony. In the colonial environment the presence of some settlers was deemed to be more desirable than others. As a consequence policies of exclusion and racial rhetoric were employed to exclude undesirable settlers from white society. What emerged was a pioneer society in which undesirable settlers were socially, politically and economically excluded whilst desirable settlers sought to forge a racially and culturally exclusive utopia. Based on extensive archival material from the Bundesarchiv in Berlin as well as a wide range of printed sources, the book presents an insight into strategies of social control, power, the establishment of social privilege and constructions of whiteness in a settler society.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783039110605\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGradations of Whiteness and Socio-Economic Engineering in German Southwest Africa, 1884-1914\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783039110605","offer_id":46961880465733,"sku":"9783039110605","price":73.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/ddcf1a6e-6154-4c35-ad9c-cb3c4fbd777e.jpg?v=1780807346","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/exclusion-and-inclusion-von-robbie-aitken","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
