  • Zanzibar: Religion, Politics, and Identity in East Africa
    CAS PO 204: Zanzibar: Religion, Politics, and Identity in East Africa Timothy Longman Summer 2013 M-R 10-12, plus field trips May 27-July 3 Email: [email protected] The islands of Zanzibar have been a crossroads of African, Persian, Arab, Indian, and European cultures for two millenniums, making them a unique setting in which to explore issues of religion, ethnicity, race, gender, class, and politics in East Africa. From about 1000 A.D., the first permanent settlers began to arrive from the African mainland, and they mixed with Arab, Persian, and Indian traders who had used Zanzibar as a port for centuries. Zanzibar was linked early into the Muslim world, with the first mosque in the southern hemisphere was built in there in 1107. Zanzibar’s two main islands of Unguja and Pemba ultimately developed a plantation economy, with slaves imported from the mainland growing cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and other spices. Zanzibar’s strategic and economic importance made it a coveted prize, as it was alternately controlled by the Portuguese, Omani, and British empires. Zanzibar became the launching site for H.M. Stanley and other explorers, the center for many missionary groups, and an important base for European colonial expansion into East Africa. This course explores the role of Zanzibar as a gateway between East Africa and the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe and the fascinating legacy of social diversity left by the many different cultures that have passed through the islands. We study the contrast between the historical development of mainland East Africa and the Swahili coastal communities that range from Mozambique to Somalia and the role of Zanzibar in the expansion of colonialism into East Africa.

    J.E.Afr.Nat.Hist.Soc. Vol.XXV No.3 (112) January 1966 CHECK LIST OF ELOPOID AND CLUPEOID FISHES IN EAST AFRICAN COASTAL WATERS By G.F. LOOSE (East African Marine Fisheries Research Organization, Zanzibar.) Introduction During preliminary biological studies of the economically important fishes of the suborders Elopoidei and Clupeoidei in East African coastal waters, it was found that due to considerable confusion in the existing literature and the taxonomy of many genera, accurate identifi• cations were often difficult. A large collection of elopoid and clupeoid fishes has been made. Specimens have been obtained from purse-seine catches, by trawling in estuaries and shallow bays, by seining, handnetting under lamps at night, and from the catches of indigenous fishermen. A representative fartNaturalof thisHistory),collectionLondon,haswherenow beenI wasdepositedable to examinein the Britishfurther Museummaterial from the Western Indian Ocean during the summer of 1964. Based on these collections this check list has been prepared; a review on the taxonomy, fishery and existing biological knowledge of elopoid and clupeoid species in the East African area is in preparation. Twenty-one species, representing seven families are listed here; four not previously published distributional records are indicated by asterisks. Classification to familial level is based on Whitehead, P.J.P. (1963 a). Keys refer only to species listed and adult fishes. In the synonymy reference is made only to the original description and other subsequent records from the area. Only those localities are listed from which I have examined specimens. East Africa refers to the coastal waters of Kenya and Tanzania and the offshore islands of Pemba, Zanzibar and Mafia; Eastern Africa refers to the eastern side of the African continent, i.e.

As they follow developments in rural mainland Tanzania, and in other countries, they develop notions of what “the ideal” life different from previous generations’. Youths tend to not consider farming and fishing as real jobs anymore, rather seeking jobs in offices and business. In Zanzibar, it is believed that supporters of the ruling party have greater economic opportunities. For decades, Pemba Island has been the stronghold of the political opposition. Young Pembans therefore find it hard to seek the privileges of ruling party supporters. As there is little room in their community for critique of the opposition party, they seek to become apolitical through political disengagement. This is a difficult project, since the opposition party over time has become a central part of the people’s shared identity. This master thesis discusses everyday forms of resistance in Wete town on Pemba Island, where politics are strongly polarized.

  • Project/Programme Concept Note to the Adaptation Fund
    PROJECT/PROGRAMME CONCEPT NOTE TO THE ADAPTATION FUND PART I: PROJECT/PROGRAMMEINFORMATION PART I: PROJECT/PROGRAMMEINFORMATION Project/Programme Category: Regular Project Title of Project/Programme: Climate Change Adaptation in Saltwater stressed and Freshwater Deficient Communities in Zanzibar Type of Implementing Entity: National Implementing Entity (NIE) Implementing Entity: National Environment Management Council (NEMC) Executing Entity/ies: Department of Environment, Second Vice President’s Office, Zanzibar Amount of Financing Requested: US$ 3,500,000 1.0 Project Background and Context Zanzibar forms part of the United Republic of Tanzania and comprises two major islands – Unguja and Pemba, plus a number of smaller islands with a total area of 1651 km2. Administratively, the two islands are subdivided into five regions, three in Unguja (North, Urban West and South) and two in Pemba (North and South), with an estimated population of 1.6 million (based on NBS growth rate)1. The increasing population on the same area of land (from around 400 persons/km2 in 2002 to around 530 persons/km2 in 2012) poses a lot of challenges in terms settlements, availability of freshwater and agricultural land and other livelihood implications. The population growth also increases the level of vulnerability to climate change, which is a pattern observed in other Small Island Development States (SIDS)2. The islands have a tropical warm and humid climate with small seasonal temperature variation of 3-40C, the lowest temperatures being observed in July and highest in February. The seasonality is associated with the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone which moves north and south, bringing about a bimodal pattern of rainfall, with long rains during March to May and short rains between October and December.

  • Ecological Risk Assessment Based on Land Cover Changes: a Case of Zanzibar (Tanzania)
    remote sensing Article Ecological Risk Assessment Based on Land Cover Changes: A Case of Zanzibar (Tanzania) Hassan Omar 1 and Pedro Cabral 2,* 1 Department of Computer Science and Information Technology, The State University of Zanzibar (SUZA), Zanzibar P.O. Box 146, Tanzania; [email protected] 2 NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS), Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 1070-312 Lisboa, Portugal * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 July 2020; Accepted: 21 September 2020; Published: 23 September 2020 Abstract: Land use and land cover (LULC) under improper land management is a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa and has drastically affected ecological security. Addressing environmental impacts related to this challenge requires efficient planning strategies based on the measured information of land use patterns. This study assessed the ecological risk index (ERI) of Zanzibar based on LULC. A random forest classifier was used to classify three Landsat images of Zanzibar for the years 2003, 2009, and 2018. Then, a land change model was employed to simulate the LULC changes for 2027 under a business-as-usual (BAU), conservation, and extreme scenarios. Results showed that the built-up areas and farmland of Zanzibar Island have increased constantly, while the natural grassland and forest cover have decreased. The forest, agricultural, and grassland were highly fragmented into several small patches. The ERI of Zanzibar Island increased at a constant rate and, if the current trend continues, this index will increase by up to 8.9% in 2027 under an extreme scenario. If a conservation scenario is adopted, the ERI will increase by 4.6% whereas if a BAU policy is followed, this value will increase by 6.2%.
