Mistakes I Dare Not Admit
History Unclassified’s first special edition is dedicated to mistakes. That is fitting because History Unclassified began in failure and rejection. In 2017, Kate Brown submitted a screenplay to the American Historical Review. It was not necessarily a good play, but it was all history, footnoted with newly-unearthed archival sources.

Political Thought and the Public Sphere in Tanzania
Hunter’s new book offers a fresh and complex perspective on Tanzanian history, revealing multiple and competing visions of political liberation from World War II through the late 1960s. By excavating multiple political visions from the decades preceding and following independence, Hunter decenters national independence as the defining event in Tanzanian politics. In this way, she takes up the challenge posed by Cooper, who has emphasized that cit…

Street Archives and City Life
In Street Archives and City Life Emily Callaci maps a new terrain of political and cultural production in mid- to late twentieth-century Tanzanian urban landscapes. While the postcolonial Tanzanian ruling party (TANU) adopted a policy of rural socialism known as Ujamaa between 1967 and 1985, an influx of youth migrants to the city of Dar es Salaam generated innovative forms of urbanism through the production and circulation of what Callaci calls …
Street Textuality
From the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s, a network of young urban migrant men created an underground pulp fiction publishing industry in the city of Dar es Salaam. As texts that were produced in the underground economy of a city whose trajectory was increasingly charted outside of formalized planning and investment, these novellas reveal more than their narrative content alone. These texts were active components in the urban social worlds of the…
Chief village in a nation of villages
This article explores how notions of African authenticity informed urban planning in post-colonial Africa. It examines an attempt by Tanzania's ruling party to build a new national capital in the sparsely populated region of Dodoma. Paradoxically, Dodoma's planners sought to build a modern African city based on the social principles of the traditional African village. This vision of African village authenticity legitimized Tanzania's ruling party…
Dancehall Politics
This article explores the relationship between understandings of youth sexuality and mobility, and racial nationalism in late colonial Tanganyika through a history of dansi : a dance mode first popularized by Tanganyikan youth in the 1930s. Dansi' s heterosocial choreography and cosmopolitan connotations provoked widespread anxieties among rural elders and urban elites over the mobility, economic autonomy, and sexual agency of youth. In urban com…
