[...] „Weimar Colonialism“ [...] fills an important gap in the scholarship on German „coloniality,” the enduring presence of colonial discourses in the absence of actual colonies. [...]
Jill Suzanne Smith in „Monatshefte“ (4/2015)
[...] the chapters hold together remarkably well for a conference volume. Krobb and Martin’s introduction provides a very useful survey of major themes on the period, showing how colonialism became an important sphere for working through domestic tensions after 1918. [...] A number of chapters provide nicely focused case studies of this re-negotiation, of the sort that would be effective for classroom use. [...] the volume is nevertheless successful in bringing together a variegated investigation of Weimar colonialist discourse and demonstrates that this era should not be overlooked. Not only did it leave a lasting, underappreciated legacy. It also offers an object lesson in the mythmaking and fearmongering involved when dealing with loss and victimhood in a time of increasing global exchange.

[...] die einzelnen alle in Englisch verfassten Beiträge geben Anregungen für weiterführende literaturkritische Forschungen und machen zudem den Stand der internationalen akademischen Diskurse über die postkolonialen Studien in der Germanistik deutlich.
