This shows movement in the right direction, that Germany is facing up to its whole violent past. Further steps are still pending. In Namibia, descendants of the victims are still suffering from the aftermath of the first genocide in the 20th century. The German Empire not only had thousands of Herero and Nama disenfranchised and carried out, but also enslaved and murdered. Germany has admitted its historical guilt for the Holocaust and World War ii. But it is also important to take responsibility for colonial violence.
A reappraisal includes various, highly complex aspects from historical contexts through legal channels to political means and, at best, solutions based on peace ethics. The present work provides such an established example of colonial historical work from an interdisciplinary perspective.
