Elizabeth Baer (English)

Elizabeth Baer published her fifth book in November. Entitled The Genocidal Gaze: From German Southwest Africa to the Third Reich (Wayne State UP), the book delineates a genocide the Germans committed in their colony in Africa between 1904-1907, and demonstrates how that genocide served as a precursor to the Nazi Holocaust through the ideology and methodology used in both genocides. Baer’s book is being co-published by the University of Namibia Press; Namibia is the current name of the country in which German held its colony in the early 20th century.
