''This paper explores the Polish opinion about German colonialism in Africa in connection with the perception of Prussian rule ‘at home’. In late Imperial Germany, Prussian Poles tended to look at the German ventures in Africa with a very critical eye. Their interest in Cameroonian issues was due to the fact that both Poles and Cameroonians were facing the same difficulties at the same time, namely German attempts to eliminate local languages in schools and to take control of the lands. By establishing a link between Polish and Cameroonian suffering, Polish patriots wanted to make Poles aware of their political, economic and cultural subjection within a global context. In a certain way, this counter-hegemonic narration was supposed to deprovincialise the ‘Polish issue’ and make it part of the broader struggle against German imperial power. The Poles, however, did not support independence for Cameroon. They used the Cameroonian issues mainly polemically in order to advance their own cause in imperial Germany.''

Contesting Borders: German Colonial Discourse and The Polish Eastern Territories PhD Kopp. K.L his study investigates attempts to construct the Polish Eastern Territories of Prussia as German colonial space, as well as reactions to the loss of this territory following the First World War.

''I argue that Poland was reinvented as Germanys colonial "Wild East," in the late nineteenth century, both as a means of attracting German settlers otherwise destined for the "Wild West" of North America, and also of legitimizing Germanys continued hold on this region despite the Polish struggle for national independence. Using literary works from this period, including Gustav Freytags Soll und Haben, Clara Viebigs Das schlafende Heer, Theodor Fontanes Effi Briest, and a broad selection of colonial novels set in Poland (Ostmarkenromane), I examine the rhetorical strategies deployed in constructing the Polish Territories as colonial space. With a shared, historically fluid border between colonizer and colonized, the structuring categories of a racial "black and white," and a spatial "here and there" were bound to falter. I develop a model of "colonial adjacency" to explain the need for discursive overdetermination in constructing colonial Otherness.'' Book review ''Kopp repeatedly emphasizes that two models of Germanization existed in the East: the assimilationist and the properly colonial. The ''first assumed that Poles were just immature Germans and could be “educated” to become Germans. The second was typically colonial in'' ''that it drew a thick line between the colonizer and the colonized, emphasizing that Poles were dark skinned and dark haired, while Germans were white skinned and blond.
