Developing the Sugar Valley
Despite the initiatives that have been taken by the government and different stakeholders, the availability of sugar is uncertain in Tanzania for years. It is on that basis that this article uses a historical approach to analyse the mismatch between sugarcane farming and industrial processing capacity in the Kilombero valley. The shortage of sugar indicates the missing link between sugarcane farming and industrial processing capacity that is coup…
Histories of Landscapes
Landscapes in the colonial period were contested and negotiated among multiple actors. The differences among them were reflected in the way colonial government authorities and local populations defined what it meant to belong to a physical space. Existing scholarship reveals how pastoralists, for example, were marginalised by successive governments who treated them as threats to the environment in the very regions where they have been recognised …
Ujamaa in the Kilombero Valley
In central southern Tanzania, the Kilombero Valley is a potential economic zone. Villagers in this area have witnessed the changing landscape of development efforts from colonial to postcolonial times. Kilombero's development story is one of government initiatives as well as local people's processes shaped by environmental and policy factors. This study explains how development was conceived, implemented, and impacted the valley's production and …
Whose History is our History? Six Decades of the Production of Historical Knowledge in Tanzania
This paper examines the historical significance of the histories we research, publish, and teach in Tanzania in the past six decades of active historical scholarship. By using a qualitative approach, it looks at curriculums and education policy documents to see what patterns were emerging in the teaching of history, with a particular focus on secondary schools and university histories. The main argument is that little progress has been made to te…
Agrarian Change and Rural Transformation in Tanzania
Farming is a major sector of informal employment for more than 67 per cent of the active labour force in Tanzania. This means farming is of primary importance to the overall economy. Rural transformations and the future of agriculture in Tanzania depend mainly upon improved access to market outlets, guarantees on improved seeds, and availability of farm-loans. These are essential interventions to transform the rural sector despite the challenges …
First Book Symposium
This issue inaugurates the First Book Symposium as a feature in the pages of Social Analysis. Instead of including ourselves among the journals that devote a section to book reviews in their regular issues, as we have done for many years, we feel that a more focused approach is better suited to our goal of exploring the potentials of anthropological analysis. Adopting from other journals the format of the book symposium, in which a single book is…
Who Writes and Reads African History and Why? Locating African Voices in the Twenty-First Century, From 1960 to the Present
This paper provides an analysis of recent past and current trends in the production and use of African historiography, viewing the changing dynamics and progress of this discipline as products of the politics of knowledge production in the wider domain of African studies throughout the late post-colonial era. On the one hand, we should not encourage radical separatist manifestos preventing non-African historians from writing about the continent. …
