Impfe und herrsche: Veterinarmedizinisches Wissen und Herrschaft im kolonialen Namibia 1887–1929

The history of colonial veterinary medicine not only illustrates the emergence of knowledge through the trans-imperial integration with European experts. Using the example of colonial Namibia, the modalities, consequences and continuities of the production, circulation and application of veterinary knowledge in the context of the establishment of colonial rule between 1887 and 1929 become clear. The book sees itself as a contribution to the transnational linking of knowledge and colonial history as well as a suggestion to abandon established colonial historical periodizations.
