Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Das Buch bietet eine hervorragend aufbereitete Einführung in die Kolonial- und Globalgeschichte.

English summary: Without the colonies the European history of science would have taken a very different course. Not only was the development of zoology and ethnology closely linked to colonial history, the war staged on many diseases occurring in Europe, such as cholera and malaria, could not have been fought without the insights emerging from colonial life. This book presents a wealth of individual case studies as well as a look at many documents and evidence from colonial history. It shows how knowledge moved its way to Europe and how it eventually greatly influenced the course of progress during the 19th century German description: Wenn uber die Kolonialisierung der Welt geschrieben wird, steht zumeist im Vordergrund, was die Europaer den Weltregionen an Fortschritt und Zivilisation brachten. Tatsachlich aber ware auch die europaische Wissensgeschichte ohne die Kolonien anders verlaufen. Ein Heer von Missionaren, Forschungsreisenden, Kolonialbeamten und Kaufleuten haben das Wissen und die Erfahrungen der indigenen Volker gesammelt und nach Europa gebracht. Nicht nur die Entwicklung der Zoologie, Botanik oder Ethnologie war aufs engste mit der Kolonialgeschichte verwoben, auch die erfolgreiche Bekampfung von damals noch in Europa auftretenden Krankheiten wie Cholera und Malaria ware ohne das Wissen aus den Kolonien kaum moglich gewesen. Entlang faszinierender Einzelschicksale, aber auch durch Einblicke in neue Dokumente und Zeugnisse aus der Kolonialgeschichte zeigen die Beitrager dieses Bandes, wie ein erstaunlich reiches Wissen nach Europa gelangte und den Fortschritt des 19. Jahrhunderts entscheidend beeinflusste.
