Summary:

The debates over the recognition of the Ovaherero and Nama genocide (1904-1908) in present-day Namibia have received increasing public attention over the past two decades. Kaya de Wolff examines treatment of the crimes committed by German colonial troops in German-language press coverage from 2001 to 2016. Her work explores how and why historical events are remembered in the media; which voices are heard (and not heard); and the social power relations and norms that determine the struggle for recognition by the victims' descendants. (Translated and adapted from German-language summary).
