'Postcolonial Germany' traces the evolution of the collective memory of German colonialism, stretching from the loss of the colonies across the eras of national socialism, national division, and the Cold War to the present day. It shows to what extent this memory was intimately bound to objects of material culture in the former colonial metropole, such as tropical fruit sold atcolonial balls, state gifts handed to the former colonies at independence, and ethnological items kept as family heirlooms

ISBN 9783862231027/9783862231034GERMANY'S involvement in the Pacific was cut short by the capture of its colonies by Australia, New Zealand and Japan in 1914. Agitation for the return of Germany's colonies continued unabated during the National Socialist dictatorship, but it was Mt Kilimanjaro, not Mt Wilhelm that appeared on Nazi posters.

This paper traces the origins of the Caribbean as exploitation colonies and the way in which these islands have been integrated into the world economy, particularly under British colonialism beginning at around 1655. Focusing on two colonies of the British West Indies, the author shows that colonisation and pursuit of profits led to the introduction of sugar cultivation that contributed to the emergence of particular structures in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.

In his essay J. E. Inikori argues that the British slavers "had freedom to carry as many slaves per ship as possible" to foreign colonies after 1788.1 He takes issue with my argument in Econocide that the British regulatory acts applied equally to those in the British direct trade to foreign colonies.2 In support of this he cites instances of British slave ships that undoubtedly loaded far more than the allowed slaves per ton in 1803.

The theory of social defense developed in the late nineteenth century from the work of Italian and French schools of criminal anthropology. The search for the etiology of deviant behavior, and particularly criminal behavior, should lead to the replacement of certain basic concepts of criminal law such as crime, guilt and punishment, by others that take into account the dangerousness of individuals guilty of criminal acts. The aim was to replace undifferentiated criminal sanctions with more personalized measures designed to improve public safety. In the inter-war period, criminal anthropology gave way to criminal prophylaxis, imagined by the psychiatrist Edouard Toulouse. The members of his network displayed an intense activity, but two subjects were paradoxically overlooked in their investigations: the French Guiana penal colonies and the metropolitan children's penal colonies. The public was, however, very shocked by Albert London's revelations after his investigation into the Cayenne penal colony. Almost simultaneously, the scandal of children's penal colonies, also orchestrated by journalists and philanthropic associations broke out. The thesis aims to a better understanding of the failure of the Criminal Prophylaxis, which disappeared on the eve of the second world war, even when the death sentence of the penal colony of Cayenne was pronounced, for reasons actually more economical than humanitarian, as well as the replacement of children's penal colonies with the Supervised Education System. In studying the rich debates on criminal policy in the inter-war period, it also highlights the commitment of unfairly unsung actors to date. ; La théorie de la défense sociale s'est développée à la fin du XIXe siècle à partir des travaux des écoles italienne et française d'anthropologie criminelle.

To understand the foundations of American political institutions, it's necessary to understand the rationale for British colonial institutions that survived the empire. Political institutions in England's American colonies were neither direct imports from England, nor home-grown creations of autonomous colonists. Instead, they emerged from efforts of the English Crown to assert control over their colonies amid limited English state and military capacity. Agents of Empire explores the strategic dilemmas facing a constrained crown in its attempts to assert control. The study argues that colonial institutions emerged from the crown's management of authority delegated to agents-first companies and proprietors establishing colonies; then imperial officials governing the polities they created. The institutions remaining from these strategic dynamics form the building blocks of federalism, legislative power, separation of powers, judicial review, and other institutions that comprise the American polity today
This book explores the theme of violence, repression and atrocity in imperial and colonial empires, as well as its representations and memories, from the late eighteenth through to the twentieth century. It examines the wide variety of violent means by which colonies and empire were maintained in the modern era, the politics of repression and the violent structures inherent in empire. Bringing together scholars from around the world, the book includes chapters on British, French, Dutch, Italian and Japanese colonies and conquests. It considers multiple experiences of colonial violence, ranging from political dispute to the non-lethal violence of everyday colonialism and the symbolic repression inherent in colonial practices and hierarchies. These comparative case studies show how violence was used to assert and maintain control in the colonies, contesting the long held view that the colonial project was of benefit to colonised peoples.
Information about parasitoids of neotropical vespids is scarce. Parasitoids collected from 43 colonies of Polistes myersi Bequaert, 1934 and one ofPolistes erythrocephalus Latreille, 1813 are reported from an Andean region of Colombia. Colony parasitism rates in P. myersi ranged from 35 % to 57 %, being higher in colonies with more cells; however, the number of parasitized colonies did not differ when considering the mean number of adult wasps (8.2 vs. 8.1 respectively). Parasitoidism ranged from one up to four species per colony. P. myersi parasitoids were: Seminotalaeviceps (Cresson, 1879) (Trigonalidae); Signiphora polistomyiella Richards, 1935 (Signiphoridae); Elasmuspolistis Burks, 1971 (Eulophidae, Elasminae); and a new species of Xenos(Strepsiptera, Xenidae). The latter three are first records for Colombia. P. myersi and P. erythrocephalus are the first host reports for the trigonalid S.laeviceps. We also report an unknown Tachinid fly species of the tribe Blondeliini attacking P. myersi.
