Aprašymas
Swiss colonial history spans the period from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, but vestiges of it still persist into the present. Largely unknown until just a few years ago, this chapter in Swiss history played out on every continent in a globally interconnected world. It involves individuals, companies, and communities from all parts of the country who profited from European colonialism.
Our image of Switzerland's colonial entanglements and their continuing echoes in the present is still incomplete. The fourteen contributions in this book provide a point of departure for a critical engagement with the theme, stimulating further discussion and posing questions that will inspire deeper engagement with the issues.
