Abstract:
»Lisa Todd's 'The Soldiers Interfere with Our Women: Sexual Violence in German-Occupied Namibia, 1904-1908,' uses military records, missionary reports, Herero oral histories, and a careful reading of the infamous 1918 Report on the Natives of South-West Africa and their Treatment by Germany, to illustrate the widespread rape and sexual coercion perpetrated by German soldiers on women and girls in battle zones, occupied territories, and in concentration camps. Todd shows how the exigencies of colonial warfare, when coupled with the anti-Black racism of settler colonialism, resulted in a military structure that believed their enemies to be outside the laws of war.«
