Linking histories thought of as totally unrelated, Kakel demonstrates that the Early American and Nazi-German national projects of territorial expansion, racial exclusion, and settler colonization were surprisingly similar projects of 'space' and 'race', with deadly consequences for 'unwanted' peoples in the American West and the Nazi East.
By employing new 'optics' and a comparative approach, this book helps us recognize the unexpected and unsettling connections between America's 'western' empire and Nazi Germany's 'eastern' empire, linking histories previously thought of as totally unrelated and leading readers towards a deep revisioning of the 'American West' and the 'Nazi East'.
