This paper shows Switzerland’s involvement in colonialism. Swiss actors participated in the slave trade or benefited otherwise from the colonial system. This linkage was accompanied by the construction of the « colonial Other », which was also important for the formation of Swiss identity in the course of the nation building process. In the paper, the « othering » is illustrated by three examples: the science, the so called « Völkerschauen », (« human zoos ») and on the basis of a selected textbook of the 19th century.
