Kritik
"In his doctoral thesis at the ETH Zürich, Andreas Greiner tried to come to a better understanding of colonial state formation in German East Africa through the lens of human porterage. ... Based on this doctoral research ... published the reviewed monograph with the fitting subtitle 'Tensions of Transport'. ... Greiner does an excellent job reconstructing and explaining the practical and moral dilemmas the German colonizers were facing in East Africa." (Geert Castryck, H-Soz-Kult, hsozkult.de, May 30, 2024)mehr
