Excerpt: This article shows how German colonists from the Tsarist Empire were, by means of a colonialist discourse, made into instruments of the Germanization of Eastern Europe. Their supposed lack of sophistication was practically prerequisite for coping with the ostensibly primitive inhabitants and the untamed wilderness. During the 18th and up to the end of […]

Excerpt: During the First World War, the German Empire had far-reaching plans for expansion in Eastern Europe. The Baltic states in particular were destined to become a German settlement colony known as the “Neues Ostland” (new eastern lands). With hindsight, some of these plans appear as forerunners of National Socialist conquest policy. Calculations “for a […]

Analyzing the rationale for murder laid out in the perpetrator’s manifesto, the chapter suggests […]

Excerpt: Eiichiro Azuma and Greg Dvorak gift us with two important and richly researched books that deepen our understanding of how settler colonialism operates as a connective mechanism tying Japanese and US imperialisms. My response applies a concept from one study to the other; both questions stem from my interest in Blackness and the African […]

Abstract: Latin American and Caribbean literatures have increasingly turned to speculative genres to confront crises of ecology, race, and identity. Moving beyond the hegemony of magical realism, writers across the region employ Afrofuturism and Indigenous Futurisms to reimagine futures historically denied to marginalized communities. This article situates these currents within the broader speculative turn in […]
