IRB protocol # 13090619 iii ABSTRACT They Have To See Us: an Ethnography of Deaf People in Tanzania Jessica Lee Department of Anthropology Thesis directed by Professor J. Terrence McCabe This dissertation explores the relationship between Tanzanian deaf people and mainstream society, as well as dynamics within deaf communities. I argue that deaf people who do participate in NGOs and other organizations that provide support to deaf people, do so strategically. In order to access services and improve their own lives and the lives of their families, deaf people in Tanzania move comfortably and fluidly between identity groups that are labeled as disabled or only as deaf. Through intentional use of the interventions provided by various organizations, deaf people are able to carve out deaf spaces that act as places for transmission of information, safe areas to learn and use sign language, and sites of network and community development among other deaf people.

From 2002 to 2008 Tanzania has experienced sustained growth of around seven percent thanks to the implementation, since the mid nineties, of a comprehensive economic reform program that has produced good macroeconomic performance and stability characterized by relatively high economic growth and low inflation. The global financial crisis has resulted in a decline in growth from 7.4 percent in 2008 to five percent in 2009. One of the country’s main challenges remains to translate economic growth into poverty reduction, with the country registering only a small decline in poverty incidence from 35.7 percent in 2000 to 33.5 percent in 2007. Key growth sectors are mining, construction, manufacturing, and tourism—all sectors that strongly depend on and generate transport.

    Gold a’plenty for SA under the Zambia sun Lusaka, Zambia. – South Africans know how hot it can be in this part of sub-Saharan Africa at this time of the year – very hot. Sun cream and water are staple diets for delicate- skinned visitors. So when the South African Proteas and other African nations’ elite descended on Zambia’s largest city for a major African event in September they knew what to expect. They were not disappointed. The mercury predictably soared into the high 30 Deg/C for the annual African States Tournament; everyone took shel- ter where they might; all covered up. The African sun does not take prisoners. Normally about seven countries compete (the women had CHAMPIONS The Bowls SA Proteas at the African States Tournament six entries only ); normally South Africa’s men and women in Lusaka; from left: Bowls SA president Kallie Haupt, Nici Nel, Morgan dominate.

  • Doing Business in Africa
    DOING BUSINESS IN AFRICA Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 11.7 million sq. miles including adjacent islands. It covers 20.4% of the world total land area. With a billion people (as of 2009) in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14.72% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent has 54 sovereign states, including Madagascar, various island groups, and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, a member state of the African Union whose statehood is disputed by Morocco. It encompasses numerous climate areas; it is the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate zones. Africa's population has rapidly increased over the last 40 years, and consequently it is relatively young. In some African states half or more of the population is under 25 years of age. African population grew from 221 million in 1950 to 1 billion in 2009. OPPORTUNITIES Africa's collective GDP in 2008 roughly equaled Brazil's or Russia. Between 2000 and 2008 Africa's GDP grew by an impressive 5.3%, compared to 4% globally. Its equity markets have outperformed global indexes, according to a 2010 report by the Boston Consulting Group. When established economies were shrinking last year Africa was expanding. Since 1998 revenues of the continent's 500 largest companies, excluding banks, have grown at an average of 8.3% a year.
