Bibliographies

No systematic bibliographies exist. However as part of the national fervour as part of the national fervour over the acquisition of colonies in the late 1890s and early 1900s, the colonial journals provided annual bibliographies [cf 6, 10] which were compiled into small separate publications [cf 4, 19]. Publishers, such as Wilhelm Süsserott, commenced colonial series, and book sellers issued special catalogues on colonial literature [cf 21].

      The resurgence of German nationalism and the increased clamour for a restitu-tion of colonies to Germany in the mid 1930s led to the compilation of select bibliographies [cf 1, 29] some of which were compiled by the Nazi Ministry of Propa-ganda [3].

Bibliography of publications relating to the German colonies as well as selected publications relating to Germans living in South America and foreign colonies. The bulk of the references deal with post-World War II items (such as the German settlements in Southwest Africa, now Namibia) and have little relevance to Micronesia. Some items listed deal with the Japanese occupation of the former German Islands Territory. The references to Germans living overseas give insight into the development of post-World War I German emigration.
