An internal research seminar with Daniel Steinbach, Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen, SAXO-institute.
Abstract
During the First World War more than four million men of colour, and an even greater number of white Europeans, Australians and Americans, crisscrossed the globe. How did people interact across uneven intersections of nationality, race, gender, class, religion, and language? How did encounters –direct and mediated, forced and unforced – shape issues from cross racial intimacy and identity formation to anti-colonial networks and visions of a post-war future? From the vantage point of the edited volume Colonial Encounters in a Time of Global Conflict, 1914-1918 Daniel Steinbach (UCPH) introduces these topics and reflects upon the First World War as a global conflict.
