Summary/Abstract: The first Polish anthropological study on German colonialism. It is an attempt to research the influence of German colonialism on German culture between 1884 and 1989 and show the complex character of the “enemy” figure in this context. The author presents the mechanisms of social exclusion from the end of the 19th century until present day. The German forms of racism, analysed in the book, are an effective tool in administering social fear and they ultimately go beyond the German context.
