The series provides a platform for Colonial and Postcolonial Linguistics. This new sub-discipline of linguistics is inspired by work carried out within the framework of Missionary Linguistics and by recent discussion about language, linguistics and colonialism. KPL/CPL intends to make accessible and comment on textswhich are concerned with languages of the former European possessions in overseas and were written during the European colonial era.

The edition of the Bremen Book Catalogue on Colonialism provides access to an important source of German colonial history by means of facsimile reproductions, introductory texts, commentaries and indexes. It is the result of a cooperation of the Bremen research project Language in Colonial Contexts and Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Bremen.
