“…Yet questions of violence and intimacy have been perceived as virulent in settler-colonial contexts. Southern Africa's early colonial history was marked by clashes between metropolitan forces, groups of settlers and African communities, and this context has attracted many scholars (working, for example, on the Herero and Nama genocide and the South African War; Gewald 1999;Krüger 1999;Zimmerer and Zeller 2008;Nasson 2010). Beyond warfare, scholars have analysed quotidian practices of violence as 'core technologies of colonial rule' (Muschalek 2019).…”

“…On other fronts, the Nama tactics of emerging and withdrawing quickly, never staying in one place too long, earned leader Jakob Morenga the title of "first modern guerilla warrior" (Drechsler 1980). Some argue that they had learned from the Herero, who had openly attacked German farms and infrastructures after the call to unite in resistance against the German settler men (Gewald 1999;Zimmerer and Zeller 2003). Hendrik Witbooi, Nama leader, fiercely defied German patronage from the very early years of settlement and insisted on Nama independence until his death in 1905 (Menzel 2000;Witbooi 1982).…”

Feminist Solidarities after Modulation

Feminist Solidarities after Modulation produces an intersectional analysis of transnational feminist movements and their contemporary digital frameworks of identity and solidarity. Engaging media theory, critical race theory, and Black feminist theory, as well as contemporary feminist movements, this book argues that digital feminist interventions map themselves onto and make use of the multiplicity and ambiguity of digital spaces to question presentist and fixed notions of the internet as a white space and technologies in general as objective or universal. Understanding these frameworks as colonial constructions of the human, identity is traced to a socio-material condition that emerges with the modernity/colonialism binary. In the colonial moment, race and gender become the reasons for, as well as the effects of, technologies of identification, and thus need to be understood as and through technologies. What Deleuze has called modulation is not a present modality of control, but is placed into a longer genealogy of imperial division, which stands in opposition to feminist, queer, and anti-racist activism that insists on non-modular solidarities across seeming difference. At its heart, Feminist Solidarities after Modulation provides an analysis of contemporary digital feminist solidarities, which not only work at revealing the material histories and affective "leakages" of modular governance, but also challenges them to concentrate on forms of political togetherness that exceed a reductive or essentialist understanding of identity, solidarity, and difference.

“…Recognising that nothing would satisfy the German appetite for land and tiring of German harassment, bullying, and killings, the Hereros revolted in January 1904 at Okahandja. It was very much a local uprising, a limited affair, which the Germans turned into a general conflict (Gewald, 1999). Until this time, German efforts had been marred by self-doubts and frustrations arising from their inability to impose their will on the indigenous population.…”

“…They undertook no offensive actions, and they did not sabotage German telegraph lines, or over-extended supply lines. Instead, they expected negotiations with the Germans, and withdrew northward towards Waterberg Mountain (Gewald, 1999). The Germans were not, however, interested in negotiating.…”

Settler colonial violence in the American Southwest and German Southwest Africa

This article takes a comparative approach to settler colonial violence in the American Southwest and German Southwest Africa. The Anglo invasion of central Arizona in 1864 and the German conflict against the Herero in 1904 highlights the nature of frontier violence and identifies similarities and differences across two points in space and time that have seldom been compared by historians. Those writing of the US-Apache conflicts have failed to look to colonial theaters around the world, their transnational attention focusing instead on the borderlands of United States, Mexico, and independent Indians. Similarly, research on the violence in GSWA has not engaged systematically with international parallels and has instead focused on identifying possible links between GSWA and the Nazis and the Holocaust. This article seeks to address these shortcomings by analysing the comparative strands of settler colonial violence.
