This article examines the polemics and practices of female gentile cutting, and the effects on the millions of women affected by this act. First, the author presents aspects from the 2002 essay collection, "Genital Cutting and Transnational Sisterhood: Disputing U.S. Polemics" by the University of Illinois Press; highlighting portions of the book's introduction and a position paper by the Women's Caucus of the African Studies Association first written in 1983. Next, the author discusses the emotional and physical damage; the fixation to reaffirm Western cultural superiority; and then delves into the topic of female genital cutting in Western Feminist discourse. The article also discusses an interview with Marianne Schnall re the anti-colonist position, and Eve Ensler's thoughts on the issue at hand. References. M. Diem

"This book addresses the intersection between gender and colonialism primarily in German colonialism. Gender and German Colonialism is concerned with colonialism as a historical phenomenon and with the repercussions and transformations of the colonial era in contemporary racist and sexist discourses and practices relating to refugees, migrants, and people of non-European descent living in Europe. This volume contributes to the broader effort of decolonization with particular attention to concepts of gender. Rather than focus on only one European empire, it discusses and compares multiple former colonial powers in context. In addition to German colonialism, some chapters focus on the role of gender in Dutch and Belgian colonialism in Indonesia, Africa, and the Americas. This volume will be of value to students and scholars interested in women's and gender studies, social and cultural history, and imperial and colonial history." - Klappentext

An examination of the Third Reich & Hitler's war against Poland & the USSR from the perspective of the history of colonialism systematically describes Nazi expansion & occupation policy in the East as colonial in nature. Historians have wrongly concluded that Hitler was not interested in a colonial empire & structural similarities between colonialism & the Third Reich have been largely ignored. The United Nations Convention on Genocide definition of genocide is drawn upon to illustrate equivalences between concepts of space & race common to European colonialism & those at the heart of Nazi policies. The focus is on structural similarities apparent in the formulation & function of concepts of race & space as well as likenesses & differences in the conditions of genocide in both cases. Although Nazi policy of expansion & annihilation was firmly in the tradition of European colonialism, it is pointed out that colonial genocides were less organized & centralized, as well as far less dependent on state bureaucracy.
