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. The thesis is also a discussion on collective memory, and notions of differences between ethnic and political groups. 5 Acknowledgements First of all, I wish to thank the people in Wete, who welcomed me into their homes and hearts, and made me feel welcomed from the first moment I arrived. I wish to give thanks to the bright youths in Wete for sharing their lives, and to my neighbours for their kindness. Special thanks to Sheikha, Eddi and Fatma for opening up your home and including me in your lives. Thank you Kjersti Larsen for believing in me, Kjetil Tronvoll for the opportunity I have secretly dreamt of for five years, Silje and Eli Johanne for sharing experiences from your fieldwork in Zanzibar, Hajj M. Hajj for sharing your endless knowledge and Fatma Kheri for your friendship. Thanks to family and friends for your encouragements.

  • 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.

The material has been prepared at the request of CICRED, as part of its contribution to the objectives of the World Population Year, 1974. In common with other developing countries of Africa, the East African countries are becoming acutely aware of the importance of rapid population growth and its significance to the attainment of development objectives. It has become increasingly clear that with the current rates of growth and the limited resources, the burden of socio-economic development programmes has become more serious. The search for alternative strategies to development must therefore focus attention on the impact of accelerating growth rate which leads to retardation of the rate of economic and social development.

  • Misali Island, Tanzania – an Open Access Resource Redefined Ali Abdullah, Ali Said Hamad, Ali Mbarouk Ali and Robert G
    Constituting the Commons: Crafting Sustainable Commons in the New Millennium. 8th Biennial Conference of the International Association for the Study of Common Property (IASCP) Panel: Misali Island, Tanzania – An Open Access Resource redefined Ali Abdullah, Ali Said Hamad, Ali Mbarouk Ali and Robert G. Wild Abstract As with many of post-colonial East Africa’s valuable natural resource areas, the fishery of Misali Island, off the West Coast of Pemba, Tanzania, could until recently have been defined as open access common property due to the government’s inability to effectively enforce the official system of state ownership. Moves by local community members, government sympathisers and external agents have led to the establishment of a legally recognised communal property resource, centrally managed by a heterogeneous stakeholder group that both co-ordinates control mechanisms inside the area and advocates for the rights of users to higher-level organisations. Towards the beginning of the decade the traditional users of Misali (an estimated 1640 fishermen from 29 different coastal communities around Pemba) were threatened with exclusion from their livelihood resource through the possible lease of the island to tourism investors. This prompted extensive lobbying of the government of Zanzibar, who agreed that the island would be proposed as a community- managed eco-tourism site in which sustainable, controlled off-take would be allowed to continue. Stakeholder workshops and advocacy by government and foreign agencies led, in May 1998 to the designation of Misali Island and its surrounding reefs as a protected conservation area. This allowed for the enforcement of controls on extraction by a central Management Committee, made up of resource users, government and NGO representatives.

  • Zanzibar Is a Semi-Autonomous Archipelago Approximately 35Km Off the Shore of Tanzania
    TIPS Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous archipelago approximately 35km off the shore of Tanzania (East Africa) consisting of Zanzibar Island (known as Unguja), Pemba Island and many smaller islets. Island has a very rich and interesting history. Zanzibar culture is based on many Arabic, Persian and British influences. Capital of Zanzibar is Zanzibar City with its historical part Stone Town which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. Stone Town walk should be a must- see for every visitor. Darajani market and small gift shops near the Old Fort will show you colours and vibrations of Africa. Visiting Old Slave Market is a great chance to get to know better Zanzibar's rich history. For a perfect ending of busy day in the city you should visit Forodhani Gardens after 5 p.m., near the Arab Fort , where you can find a lot of local food in very good prices. Time zone: GMT + 3 Currency: Tanzanian Shillings (TZS), but US Dollars are widely accepted, ATMs are available in Stone Town Visa: Tourist visa costs 50 USD and can be obtained on the arrival, at the airport. Language: Kiswahili, although English is widely spoken Zanzibar Airport: ZNZ Abeid Amani Karume International Airport Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required only if traveling from a country with risk of YFV transmission, including transit >12 hours in an airport located in a country with risk of YFV transmission. Zanzibar is a low risk malaria area - taking of prophylactics is the decision of individual travellers. However mosquito repellent and long sleeves and trousers at the evenings are recommended.

  • Ethnicity Or Tribe? Social Cleavage in Omani Employment Patterns
    人文学研究所報 No. 56，2016. 9 Ethnicity or Tribe? Social Cleavage in Omani Employment Patterns OKAWA Mayuko 要旨 本稿は，中東，湾岸諸国で近年大きな社会問題となっている雇用問題をとりあげ，オマーン人の就業状況 から国民内部の社会的亀裂を論じるものである。湾岸諸国の多くでは外国人が国民の人口を上回ってお り，劣悪な労働環境に置かれた外国人労働者の人権問題や，文化的他者あるいは脅威としての外国人の存 在がとりあげられるなど，雇用問題や労働市場は国民／外国人の構図のなかでこれまで分析されてきた。 しかし，自国民／外国人の格差への過度な注目は，一般国民内部の多様性や格差を隠蔽してしまう。そこ で本稿では，1980 年代以降政府が推進する労働力の自国民化を底辺で支えているのが，主流派のアラブ 系オマーン人ではなく，非アラブ系やアフリカ帰りの混血オマーン人であることを筆者の参与観察やイン タビュー資料から明らかにする。こうしたデータをみると国民内部の分業体制はエスニシティに基づいて いるようにみえるが，エスニシティと重なりながらも部族という要因が作用していることを論じる。近代 化していく社会の中で薄れつつあると言われる部族意識は，1980 年代以降顕著になってきた公的機関へ の就職難，さらには結婚相手の選択可能性という，自身の部族アイデンティティを改めて意識化する契機 が生まれたことによって，現代的な意味合いをもった形で維持されているのである。 キーワード：エスニシティ（ethnicity），部族（tribe），雇用（employment），オマーン（Oman），湾岸諸 国（Arab Gulf Countries） 1．Introduction 1-1 Framework of the citizen and the immigrant This paper explores social cleavage among Omani citizens and examines employment issues, which have become a major social concern in contemporary Arab Gulf countries（ AGC）. Because AGC citizens are a minority in their own countries, apart from Saudi Arabia and Oman, scholars have explored how the presence of immigrants has influenced the economy and society of the region. Many anthropologists have recently focused on the immigrants themselves, rather than local citizens, describing their diversity and lived experiences［ Longva 1997; Gardner 2010; Kanna 2011; Vora 2013］（1）.The social structure of the AGC cannot be discussed without the presence of immigrants, and employment issues and the labor market have been analyzed within the analytic framework of citizen/immigrant. However, the excessive attention paid to the difference between the two categories conceals variety and disparity in the idea of the “citizen.” The general image of the AGC as homogeneous societies has pre- vailed; as a result, governments frequently utilize a nationalistic discourse in order to conceal disparity be- tween ethnicities, religious sects, and social classes. 13 Oman is an Arab nation but one diverse in terms of ethnicity and religious sects among the citizenry.

Island endemics frequently have small popula- tions and are known to be sensitive to habitat and community changes, making them prone to extinction. In this paper, we assess the habitat distribution of the terrestrial birds of Pemba, an oceanic island that has been classi®ed has an ``Endemic Bird Area''. Most of Pemba has been profoundly altered by human activities and only small patches of natural vegetation remain. However, we found that the six endemic birds (four species and two sub-species) have colonised several of the man-made habitats, including clove plantations and farmland, and remain widespread. Species richness was not reduced in these heavily managed areas when compared to the remnants of tropical forest.
