Abstract

Geographical expeditions during German colonialism produced knowledge about the new colonies and thus helped to subject them to colonial rule. The successful climbing of Mount Kilimanjaro by German colonial • geographer Hans Meyer exemplifies how 19th century geographers acted and saw themselves in the field. It illustrates how geographical ; research took place under colonialism, and ▪ how this practice was linked to racism and bourgeois white masculinity.
