History of TANZANIA But this energetic German presence is profoundly resented by the African tribes, particularly when the harsh methods of forced labour are used in the cultivation of the new and alien crops. German East Africa, like German South West Africa, acquires in its early years a besmirched colonial record. The German commander, General von Götzen, uses a strategy hardly more humane than that of his colleague von Trotha in Namibia, whose brutality has caused an international outcry only a year previously. www.historyworld.net /wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?historyid=ad23   (1910 words)

Afritopic-adé-odukoya I envision a new Germany, where an Afro-German that has gained valuable cultural experience from the African community in German, could be sent to Africa as an ambassador by the German government. In this case, we have a German with African roots representing Germany in Africa and not just a German from a “Technisches Hilfswerk” who cannot relate to the continent at all. We have a very unique situation in Germany, which we should exploit to our advantage. www.afritopic.com /afritopic-ade-odukoya.htm   (6621 words)

A Mixed Blog: The History of the Mixed Race Holocaust Victims Hitler in his Mein Kempf wrote that the Afro-German children were an ‘insult to Germany’ and considered the German mothers to have been ‘prostitutes and whores’. These children were called “Rhineland Bastards” named after the land-(the Rhineland) on both sides of the Rhine River, a buffer zone between Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. These soldiers, declared Neger by the Germans were stationed in the Rhineland and intermarried with the German women which created the Mulatto children dubbed Rhineland Bastards or Rhineland Mischlingers (blood mixing with "alien races).”2 Many believed that these children were from forciable rape and could not have resulted from intermarriage. www.multiracial.com /archives/000712.html   (706 words)

abstract Bendjaballah We will first examine apophonic phenomena in three Afro-Asiatic languages (Classical Arabic, Berber and Akkadian) and in two Indo-European languages (German and Spanish). - Apophony has been argued to play a role in (a) languages that have clearly a templatic morphology (Semitic), (b) languages that are less clearly templatic (Berber, Chadic, Cushitic) and (c) languages usually defined as non-templatic (German, Spanish). The aim of this course is (a) to show that in certain cases this "irregularity" can be reduced (building on work by Guerssel & Lowenstamm 1996) and (b) to evaluate the implications of this result on the role of apophony in the morphology of the examined languages (mainly Afro-Asiatic, possibly Indo-European). www.unice.fr /dsl/nis01/abstrSabr.htm   (584 words)
