title = "(Un-)mixing in the Mandate: purity and persistence of {\textquoteleft}German-time{\textquoteright} in New Guinea",
abstract = "The crisis of the League of Nations destabilized the legitimacy of mandate rule in the Pacific during the mid‑1930s. Purity and persistence of Germanness became a theme for both the mandate Administration and the Third Reich. In this chapter I explore the role and function of Germans of ambiguous racial belonging, namely mixed‑race German Pacific Islanders, in a wider contest of expert advice and policy development. Racial scientists, German missionaries and ex‑colonial officials all had a stake in the future of the mandated Territories, and its mixed‑race German population. Depending on the argument and on their place of residency—Germany or the Pacific—mixed‑race German‑Pacific Islanders were used as fellow Germans or as “natives” to legitimize German claims.",
