Instead of focusing only on conquest, exploitation, and rule from an imperial perspective, it explains how colonial situations evolved in ways that neither mirrored the metropolis nor simply replicated pre-colonial society. The account highlights how cultural superiority shaped colonial aggression, producing ethnic and social stratification, and how Europeans often became dangerous to local populations through threats to traditional cultures via missions, schools, and bureaucracy.","# A Theoretical Overview\n\nVRGENOSTERHA人EL  \nReviews of the German edition:  \n\"No other work on colonialism comes close to the pithiness and readability ofthis book.internationally unmatched.”—Die Zeit  \n“Clear and competent”—Neue Zircher Zeitung  \nThis highly acclaimed book represents a new approach to colonialism.Concise but sweeping,it encompasses the processes of colonization anddecolonization from the early modern period to the twentieth century.  \nVirtually all other authors to date have looked at strategies of colonial con-quest,exploitation,and rule from the imperial point of view.Osterhammelshows that the colonial situation developed in ways that duplicated neither themetropolis nor the pre-colonial society,but instead blended these and added anew direction characteristic only of colonial realms.Osterhammel emphasizesthat the Europeans were normally not considered dangerous invaders by localpopulations until they threatened the traditional cultures with missionaries,European schools,and bureaucracy.  \nA conviction of imperial cultural superiority gave modern colonialism anaggressive turn.The result was ethnic and social stratification in the colonialsociety,even when colonialists took over the pre-colonial administration andsociety as the British did in India  \nJürgen Osterhammel, University of Hagen and Wissenschaftskolleg, Berlin, is  \nauthor of several books including the award winning China and World Society.  \nISBN 1-55876-130-6  \nMarkus Wiener  \n风  \nPublishers  \nPRINCETON  \n91781558761308  \nOsterhammel  \nCOL0N1AL1SM:ATHEORETICAL OVERVIEW  \nJVRGEN OSTERHAMMEL  \n# COLONIALISM\n\nA Theoretical Overview  \nbeginning of the wentieth centry  \nJürgen Osterhammel  \nTranslated from Germanby Shelley L.Frisch  \nM Markus Wiener PublishersWPrinceton  \nIRPIan Randle PublishersKingston  \nBritish Terrilory  \n ltalian Terriory  \nTHE TRANSLATION OF THIS BOOK INTO ENGLISH WAS SUPPORTED  \nBY A GRANT FROM INTERNATIONES,BONN  \nTHIRD PRINTING,1999.  \nCoPYRIGHT ◎1997 BY MARKUS WIENER PUBLISHERS  \nFOR THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION.  \nCoPYRIGHT ◎1995BY VERLAG C.H.BECK,MUNICH  \nFOR THE GERMAN EDITION.  \nALL RIGHTS RESERVED.No PART OF THIS BOOK MAY BE REPRODUCED  \nOR TRANSMITTED IN ANY FORM OR BY ANY MEANS,ELECTRONIC OR  \nMECHANICAL,INCLUDING PHOTOCOPYING,RECORDING,OR BY ANY  \nINFORMATION STORAGE OR RETRIEVAL SYSTEM,  \nWITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE COPYRIGHT OWNERS.  \nFoR INFORMATION WRITE TO:MARKUS WIENER PUBLISHERS  \n231 NASSAU STREET,PRINCETON,NJ 08542  \nBooK DESIGN BY CHERYL MIRKIN  \nTHIS BOOK HAS BEEN COMPOSED IN TIMES ROMAN BY CMF GRAPHIC DESIGN  \nLIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOGING-IN-PUBLICATION DATA  \nOSTERHAMMEL, JURGEN.  \n[KoLONIALISMUS.ENGLISH]  \nCoLONIALISM:A THEORETICALOVERVIEW/BY JURGEN OSTERHAMMEL;  \nTRANSLATED FROM GERMAN BY SHELLEY FRISCH.  \nTRANSLATION OF: KoLONIALISMUS.  \nINCLUDES BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES AND INDEX.  \nISBN 1-55876-129-2 HARDCOVER ISBN 1-55876-130-6 PAPERBACK  \n1.CoLONIES. 2.COLONIES—HISTORY.
