Abstract:
»This paper is framed around an extraordinary trial for rape and assault in a concentration camp in German South-West Africa. Based on testimonies, it foregrounds experiences of subjugation in the doubly oppressive context of colonialism and concentration camp imprisonment during the Herero Nama War between 1904-1908. Tracing voices of the imprisoned, this research probes the nature, use and politics of the German colonial archive, offers new perspectives on the personhood of the imprisoned and reappraises agency within the gendered and racial violence systemic in colonial rule.«
