Bøger af Sebastian (Freie Universitat Berlin) Conrad

Germany's short-lived colonial project had wide-reaching consequences for German politics and the nation as a whole. Sebastian Conrad draws on the wider history of European expansion and globalisation to shed new light on Germany's major role in the colonial world and the legacy of its involvement.

German society and the dynamics of German nationalism were profoundly changed prior to 1914 by the exchange of goods and capital, imperial expansion, the circulation of people and ideas and the integration of labour markets. This is the first account to set German nationalism within the process of globalisation.
