Author Christian S. Davis studies the significant involvement with and investment in German colonialism by the major antisemitic political parties and extra-parliamentary organizations of the day, while also investigating the prominent participation in the colonial movement of Jews and Germans of Jewish descent and their tense relationship with procolonial antisemites. Working from the premise that the rise and propagation of racial antisemitism in late-nineteenth-century Germany cannot be separated from the context of colonial empire, Colonialism, Antisemitism, and Germans of Jewish Descent in Imperial Germany is the first work to study the dynamic and evolving interrelationship of the colonial and antisemitic movements of the Kaiserreich era. It shows how individuals and organizations who originated what would later become the ideological core of National Socialism---racial antisemitism---both influenced and perceived the development of a German colonial empire predicated on racial subjugation. It also examines how colonialism affected the contemporaneous German antisemitic movement, dividing it over whether participation in the nationalist project of empire building could furnish patriotic credentials to even Germans of Jewish descent. The book builds upon the recent upsurge of interest among historians of modern Germany in the domestic impact and character of German colonialism, and on the continuing fascination with the racialization of the German sense of self that became so important to German history in the twentieth century.Social history, popular culture, and politics in GermanyAntisemitismGermanyHistory19th centuryAntisemitismGermanyHistory20th centuryGermanyColoniesAdministrationHistoryGermanyColoniesOfficials and employeesBiographyGermanyPolitics and government1871-1918AntisemitismHistoryAntisemitismHistory305.892/404309034Davis Christian S.1974-1863398Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan)MiUMiUBOOK9910964107103321Colonialism, antisemitism, and Germans of Jewish descent in imperial Germany4470032UNINA
