The perception of Africans as subhuman "lacking any kind of civilization, history, or meaningful religion" and the resulting justification for the violence against them is what author Elizabeth R. Baer refers to as the "genocidal gaze" an attitude that was later perpetuated by the Nazis. In The Genocidal Gaze: From German Southwest Africa to the Third Reich, Baer uses the metaphor of the gaze to trace linkages between the genocide of the Herero and Nama and that of the victims of the Holocaust. Significantly, Baer also considers the African gaze of resistance returned by the indigenous people and their leaders upon the German imperialists.Genocide in literatureHistory and criticismGenocideNamibiaHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literatureHistory and criticismPostcolonialism in literatureHistory and criticismHerero (African people)fast(OCoLC)fst00955427Nama (African people)fast(OCoLC)fst01032316GermanyColoniesAfricaNamibiafastGenocideHistoryGerman StudiesJewish StudiesHerero peopleNama peopleMorenga (film)Genocide in literatureHistory and criticism.GenocideHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literatureHistory and criticism.Postcolonialism in literatureHistory and criticism.Herero (African people)Nama (African people)809.93358Baer Elizabeth Roberts972671MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910476845803321The genocidal gaze2212601UNINA
