E mily C allaci . Street Archives and City Life
Emily Callaci’s Street Archives and City Life: Popular Intellectuals in Postcolonial Tanzania explores a variety of texts—didactic booklets aimed at young women, pulp fiction novellas, and song lyrics—both as the carriers of moral messages and social commentary and as the artifacts manifesting particular ways of making a life in Tanzania’s preeminent city, Dar es Salaam. A notable strength of the book is its treatment of these sources not only as…

Liberating development? Rule and liberation in post-independence Tanzania
Tanzania was a critical ally to the independence movements of Southern Africa, and its post-independence experiences of nation-building became an important model for them. The country was a pioneer in the transformation of liberation movements into governing parties, the formation of the single-party state, the introduction of heterodox socialism cum economic nationalism and the rapid emergence of illiberal and authoritarian tendencies in newly l…
Bearing risk is hard to do
This article takes the food crisis that began in 2007 as an occasion to draw attention to the deleterious impact of agricultural market volatility on poor farmers and food importing low-income countries. The article presents a menu of mechanisms that may reduce volatility or farmer and low-income country exposure to it. This is followed by a discussion of mechanisms that allow for the transfer of price risk through the use of instruments such as …
High on Modernity? Explaining the Failings of Tanzanian Villagisation1
This article presents a critical assessment of James Scott's portrayal, in Seeing Like a State (1998), of Tanzanian villagisation as a ‘high modernist scheme’. In particular, the article seeks to t
The Maasai's New Clothes
Dress-Up, a late 1960s campaign initiated by the Tanzanian state to induce the Maasai to abandon their traditional mode of dress, opens a window on a specific articulation in its historical context of development. The analysis draws on articles, letters to the editor, and politicians' statements printed in the Tanzanian press to portray how sections of Tanzanian society thought about the Maasai, tradition, modernity, and the nation. The article s…
Colonial Legacies and Postcolonial Authoritarianism in Tanzania
Through an examination of the Tanzanian experience, this article takes up a challenge forcefully posed by Mahmood Mamdani'sCitizen and Subjectto examine connections between late colonial and postindependence state power on the African continent. The discussion is critical of Mamdani's argument that postindependence authoritarianism in Africa can be understood as an institutional legacy of late colonialism. However, connections to colonial times d…

The Sirens' Call of Relative Gains Concerns
The notion that in international interactions state-actors care not only about their own absolute gains, but also about the size of these gains relative to what other actors receive, is one of the pillars on which rests neorealists' pessimism about the prospects of cooperation in repeated Prisoners' Dilemma (PD) and, by extension, in international politics. Although there has been a lively debate over the impact of relative gains concerns on the …
The Tanzania National Archives

Access to the TNA requires a research permit from the Tanzania Commission for Research and Technology. It is best to apply well in advance. Attaching a letter of recommendation from a contact…
