Through a series of interdisciplinary essays ranging from 1850 to the European Union of today, this collection explores the idea that Germany s relationship with Poland and Eastern Europe had many similarities to the practice of "overseas" colonialism. As the contributing scholars aptly demonstrate, the history of Germany s relationship with Poland contains all the trappings of the classic colonial encounter, from its structures of power and control, racism and cultural chauvinism, to the implementation of wholesale scientific experimentation in a "lawless" environment.Studies in European culture and history.NationalismGermanyHistoryPolish questionImperialismHistoryGermanyForeign relations1871-GermanyPolitics and government1871-GermanyForeign relationsEurope, EasternEurope, EasternForeign relationsGermanyGermanyColoniesHistoryGermanyForeign relationsPolandPolandForeign relationsGermanyNationalismHistory.Polish question.ImperialismHistory.325.343Nelson Robert L.1971-1753427MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820848103321Germans, Poland, and colonial expansion to the east4189294UNINA
