Settler colonial violence in the American Southwest and German Southwest Africa

• This article takes a comparative approach to settler colonial violence in the American Southwestand German Southwest Africa. The Anglo invasion of central Arizona in 1864 and the Germanconflict against the Herero in 1904 highlights the nature of frontier violence and identifiessimilarities and differences across two points in space and time that have seldom been comparedby historians. Those writing of the US-Apache conflicts have failed to look to colonial theatersaround the world, their transnational attention focusing instead on the borderlands of UnitedStates, Mexico, and independent Indians. Similarly, research on the violence in GSWA has notengaged systematically with international parallels and has instead focused on identifyingpossible links between GSWA and the Nazis and the Holocaust. This article seeks to address theseshortcomings by analysing the comparative strands of settler colonial violence.
