Hi everyone - I am a historian of German colonialism, genocide studies, and the Weimar Republic. I am currently writing a book on Germany's imperial afterlife in the wake of WWI. My first book explores how Africans confronted colonial rule in Namibia (1842-1919). I also love Berlin and my cats.

Some months ago, a collection of articles edited by Grzegorz Pac, myself, &Jón Viðar Sigurðsson was published by Brepols. The book is in open access, & can be found here: www.brepols.net/products/IS-....
Cover of the book, which features a medieval illumination. The illumination depicts King Wenceslas carrying a bowl to some nobles seated at a table. Behind the king, the archangel Michael appears, holding a spear in his left hand, and placing his right hand on Wenceslas' head in benediction. Wenceslas points backwards to the angel.
