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. 410 0$aStudies in European culture and history. 606 $aNationalism$zGermany$xHistory 606 $aPolish question 606 $aImperialism$xHistory 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$y1871- 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$y1871- 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$zEurope, Eastern 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xForeign relations$zGermany 607 $aGermany$xColonies$xHistory 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$zPoland 607 $aPoland$xForeign relations$zGermany 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory. 615 0$aPolish question. 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory. 676 $a325.343 701 $aNelson$b Robert L.$f1971-$01753427 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820848103321 996 $aGermans, Poland, and colonial expansion to the east$94189294 997 $aUNINA
