  • Colonial Exploration and East African Resistance Oscar Baumann’S First Expedition Into Usambara, 1888 1
    Colonial Exploration and East African Resistance Oscar Baumann’s first expedition into Usambara, 1888 1 Erschienen in: Analele Universitatii Bucuresti - Istorie XLVIII (1999) 97-110 In Tanzanian late 19 th century history, the rebellion of the people of the “Mrima”, the Swahili- speaking coastal region 2, against German political penetration in 1888-1890 has always been given particular prominence by African as well as European historians alike. 3 In this discourse, the name of the Viennese traveller, researcher and diplomat Oscar Baumann is frequently mentioned. Not only did his travel accounts enjoy good reputation amongst contemporary European observers on both academic as well as non-academic levels. Even until today, Baumann‘s findings are frequently used by historians and anthropologists as primary sources of detail and importance. His ethnographic collections, still largely unresearched, form an important part of the Viennese Museum of Ethnology‘s heritage. 4 Mistakenly, however, most of english-speaking research gives Baumann‘s national origin as German; although he did work for German colonial agencies for some time, he was definitely Austrian. 1. Biographical notes Oscar Baumann was actually born in Vienna on June 25, 1864. 5 Although distantly related to the well-known Viennese business dynasties von Arnstein and von Neuwall (both of Jewish origin 6), living circumstances of the family - father Heinrich holding a bank job on medium level - do not 1 This paper is an updated version of Barbara Köfler / Walter Sauer, Scheitern in Usambara.

  • Managing Natural Resources in the West Usambara Mountains: a Glimmer of Hope in the Horizon Jeremias G
    Managing natural resources in the West Usambara Mountains: A glimmer of hope in the horizon Jeremias G. Mowo 1, Stephen T. Mwihomeke 2 and Justin B. Mzoo 3 Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Tanzania1, 3 Tanzania Forest Research Institute, Tanzania 2 2002 Keywords: mountains, highlands, forests, natural resource management, policies, farmers, Africa, Tanzania. Please see the full list of authors under Notes to readers at the end of this article. Abstract Past efforts in the management of natural resources in the West Usambara Mountains have not been successful mainly because the approaches were top – down and did not consider local communities important in natural resource management. Current initiatives active in the area have shown that participatory approaches involving all stakeholders as well as empowering local communities to take charge of natural resource management have more chances of success. Different biophysical, socio-economic, institutional and policy opportunities exist that can be exploited to attain sustainable natural resources management in the area. Scaling up of experiences obtained so far, exploiting indigenous knowledge on conservation, improvement in the information flow and market infrastructure and establishment of appropriate policies and by laws on natural resource management are some of the strategies for the way forward in attaining sustainable natural resource management in the West Usambara Mountains. Introduction The West Usambara Mountain ranges in North East Tanzania, forms part of the Eastern Arc Mountains. With elevation ranging from 900 – 2250 meters above the sea level they occupy about 80 % of Lushoto District in Tanga Region. More than 80 % of the population of Lushoto District (estimated at 526,278 (NRI, 2000)) reside in the West Usambara Mountains (Mwihomeke, 2002.
