  • 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.

This thesis argues that the primary mover of the migration were the edicts, or Farmans, of the Ismaili spiritual leader. They were instrumental in motivating Ismailis to go to East Africa.

  • Urban Governance in Tanzania
    www.gsdrc.org [email protected] Helpdesk Research Report Urban governance in Tanzania Emilie Combaz 25.06.2015 Question Please identify key literature on urban governance in Tanzania. Contents 1. Overview 2. State of knowledge 3. Political economy in diverse urban contexts 4. Land use, urban farming, and land property 5. Provision of public goods and services 6. About this report 1. Overview Urbanisation has been increasing quickly in Tanzania. The share of the population who lives in cities had reached nearly 30 per cent by 2012 - an average annual increase of 6 per cent since 1967 and twice the rate of population growth (Wenban-Smith, 2014: 4). Up to 80 per cent of these urban residents live in informal settlements, with few basic services (UNICEF, 2012: 1). The opportunities and challenges urbanisation generates for development have been well documented. In this context, many authors emphasise that making urbanisation work for development is not just about technical issues such as physically building infrastructure. It is inherently about formal and informal political decision-making over the collective functioning and organisation of city life: it is about urban governance. What recent knowledge is available to shed light on urban governance in Tanzania? Available literature is limited, but it is methodologically strong and covers a wide range of dimensions (see section 2 for details). Key points include the following. Taking into account the political economy of diverse urban contexts is essential to understand how urban governance functions and to identify possibilities for improvement. - For urban planning, political economy analyses offer crucial insights on the conflicting interests at play.

In an urbanized world, countries are apt to be judged according to their degree of urbanization. A glance at the map shows that the under-developed countries are also, by and large, rural. Cities have long existed in Africa, of course. From the ancient trade and cultural centers of Carthage and Alexandria to the mediaeval sultanates of East Africa, urban life has long existed in some degree or another. Yet none of these cities changed significantly the rural character of the African hinterland. Today the city needs to be more than the occasional market place, the seat of political authority, and a haven for the literati. It remains these of course, but it is much more. It must be the industrial and economic wellspring of a large area, perhaps of a nation. The city has become the concomitant of industrialization and industrialization the concomitant 1 2 of the revolution of rising expectations. African cities today are largely the products of colonial enterprise but are equally the measure of their country's progress. The city is witness everywhere to the acute personal, familial, and social upheavals of society in the process of urbanization.

  • Urban Expansion in Zanzibar City, Tanzania
    1 Urban expansion in Zanzibar City, Tanzania: Analyzing quantity, spatial patterns and effects of 2 alternative planning approaches 3 4 MO Kukkonen, MJ Muhammad, N Käyhkö, M Luoto 5 6 Land Use Policy, 2018 - Elsevier 7 8 Abstract 9 Rapid urbanization and urban area expansion of sub-Saharan Africa are megatrends of the 21st century. 10 Addressing environmental and social problems related to these megatrends requires faster and more efficient 11 urban planning that is based on measured information of the expansion patterns. Urban growth prediction 12 models (UGPMs) provide tools for generating such information by predicting future urban expansion patterns 13 and allowing testing of alternative planning scenarios. We created an UGPM for Zanzibar City in Tanzania by 14 measuring urban expansion in 2004–2009 and 2009–2013, linking the expansion to explanatory variables with 15 a generalized additive model, measuring the accuracy of the created model, and projecting urban growth until 16 2030 with the business-as-usual and various alternative planning scenarios. Based on the results, the urban 17 area of Zanzibar City expanded by 40% from 2004 to 2013. Spatial patterns of expansion were largely driven 18 by the already existing building pattern and land-use constraints. The created model predicted future urban 19 expansion moderately well and had an area under the curve value of 0.855 and a true skill statistic result of 20 0.568. Based on the business-as-usual scenario, the city will expand 89% from 2013 until 2030 and will 21 continue to sprawl to new regions at the outskirts of the current built-up area.

  • A Political History of Kenya
    A POLITICAL HISTORY OF KENYA Dr John Mwaruvie History, Political Science and Pubic Administration Moi University P.O. Box 3900 Eldoret Kenya [email protected] Mobile- 0727 695 793 INTRODUCTION Kenya is a country of diversity just like USA. It has varied cultures and traditions. Kenya has 42 ethnic groups, Plus migrant races, whites, Asians and Arabs but have lived peacefully except last year (2008) when post election violence erupted due to flawed election. Like US, Kenya was a colony of Great Britain from where we have borrowed various elements of governance based on British Commonwealth traditions. For instance, our legal system, and parliamentary traditions and executive draws heavily from the British system. Like US, Kenya has three arms of government namely the Executive, Legislature (parliament) and judiciary. These three arms of government are expected to operate independently for the welfare of the citizens. Where is Kenya in the world? Cont…. • The Kenyan coastal region has had a long association with people from Middle East, India, China, which led to evolution of oriental culture. • Islam is well entrenched at the coastal region while most of interior prescribes to Christian faith. This Islamic influence is due to many years of colonization of the coastline by the Arabs. • However, religious violence experienced in other parts of the world where Islam and Christianity come into competition has not been experienced in Kenya. Cont… • Kenya like US came into direct contact with Europe in the 15th Century, when the Portuguese explorers led by Vasco da Gama explored the region in 1798 and subsequently colonized The East African coastline for two hundred years.

Remembering the Dark Years (1964–1975) in Contemporary Zanzibar Marie-Aude Fouéré French Institute for Research in Africa (IFRA), Nairobi, Kenya In the islands of Zanzibar (Unguja and Pemba), the memories of violence and repression perpetrated by revolutionaries and the state from 1964 to 1975 have long been banished from the public space. The official narrative of the 1964 Revolution and the first phase of the post-revolutionary periodi developed and propagated by the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, through a control over the production, transmission, and circulation of ideas, combined with repressive measures against dissenting voices, led people to keep their memories private. The official injunction calling for silence did not bringabout a forgetting of the past, but rather contributed to the clandestine transmission and reconstruction of fragments of individual, familial, and community memories within private circles.

  • CHAPTER 6 a Tapestry of the Ruvu Past: an Overview to C
    Societies, Religion, and History Rhonda M. Gonzales CHAPTER 6 A Tapestry of the Ruvu Past: An Overview to c. 1800 CE There is no way to recapture the individual voices of Ruvu-speaking peoples who long ago 1 lived in central-east Tanzania. But there is a way to recover the legacies that survive in the words they collectively spoke. This book is the first to bring forth a Ruvu social history using, primarily, reconstructed word histories. Within its pages the histories of the words Ruvu speakers once used are woven into accounts that highlight the ways speakers of proto-Ruvu diverged into many language communities. It also recovers details about how proto-Ruvu and speakers of Ruvu descendant languages lived within their communities in earlier times. The histories of some of those words also permit us to access facets of their speculative knowledge. Working from this tapestry of Ruvu word histories, the book argues that Ruvu people took into consideration foremost in building their communities that the cosmos was biaxial. In their views, people, animals, and the other features found on the earth's surface lived in the cosmos's temporal sphere. The other sphere comprised a world of influential spirits. In Ruvu worldviews, spirits could benefit or hinder peoples' lives and livelihoods. That precept did not determine the way Ruvu people lived, but it did underpin the rationales that legitimized the sociocultural institutions they established in their communities. This chapter is a chronological review of the thematic accounts covered in the foregoing 2 chapters. In previous chapters, a majority of the data were presented along thematic lines because that approach preserved the integrity of the information that Ruvu-speaking consultants shared with me.

  • Emancipation and Post-Emancipation in Zanzibar
    3 Emancipation and Post-emancipation in Zanzibar Saada Omar Wahab There has been a heated debate on slavery and transition from it in the Atlantic region and the rest of the world, and a comparative study of two islands in the Indian Ocean where the two types of slavery come together offers a very good opportunity to contribute to the debate. Both these two islands underwent intertwined histories of the establishment of slave economies in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries respectively, and the consequent abolition of slavery. The slave trade between Mauritius and Zanzibar which had started in the eighteenth century began to be disrupted at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth century with the British blockade and subsequent anti-slave trade treaty signed between Captain Moresby and Sultan Said bin Sultan in 1822. This treaty prohibited the Sultan from shipment of slaves to Christian colonies, including Mauritius. In 1840 when the Imam of Oman shifted his capital to Zanzibar, the islands were integrated into the world economic system. This ruler intensified the agricultural system of large plantations. By the mid-nineteenth century the demand for slaves had increased not only for export but for internal use as well, following the establishment of clove and coconut plantations in Zanzibar which required massive labour power. At this time, many slaves worked in clove and coconut plantations owned by Arabs and some Africans scattered in the islands. By the end of the nineteenth century, the slaves in Zanzibar were
