Impfe und herrsche. Veterinärmedizinisches Wissen und Herrschaft im kolonialen Namibia 1887–1929.

The article "Impfe und herrsche. Veterinärmedizinisches Wissen und Herrschaft im kolonialen Namibia 1887–1929" explores the relationship between veterinary knowledge and state control in colonial Namibia during the German and early South African administrations. The author argues that the development and institutionalization of colonial veterinary science played a central role in ensuring survival and domination in southern Africa. The study highlights the transnational dimensions of expert knowledge and personnel, as veterinarians across southern Africa formed their own networks of knowledge and expertise. While the book could have been stronger in certain areas, it provides a well-researched analysis of the role of veterinary knowledge in securing power and fortifying racial hierarchies in colonial Namibia and southern Africa.
