A timely investigation into Switzerland's colonial history. Switzerland has been globally connected and entangled with colonies established by seafaring European nations in Africa, the Americas, and Asia since the sixteenth century. colonial-- Switzerland's Global Entanglements offers a timely overview of this topical matter, placing a wide range of issues in a historical context and addressing questions of colonial continuities. Contributions by distinguished scholars and experts from various disciplines investigate questions such as the involvement of Swiss companies in the trade with enslaved people and Swiss mercenaries in the service of colonial powers, the colonial legacy of the country's missionary societies, and the research and collection of artifacts by Swiss scientists in former colonies. Light is also shed on the involvement of anthropological institutes at the universities of Zurich and Geneva in scientific racism. Conceived as an illustrated reader, this volume is both an invitation and a stimulus to explore and engage critically with Switzerland's history of global interdependence.
