Shauri, Images of Arabs, and Representation of Colonial Hierarchies in the Visual Sources of German East Africa
The article deals with the display of colonial hierarchies in the shauri scene (in German colonial practice shauri was a council, a meeting of the administration of the colony and local residents, where the decisions of the administration were announced and brought to the attention of the population; a court and other meetings with the participation of locals were called shauri too) in the visual sources of the German East Africa, namely on postc…
From "Noble Cavaliers" to "The Plague of Africa
This paper presents a case study of the perception of one cultural group (in this case, medieval) by members of another culture during a time of cultural differences and increasing conflict of interests. The focus is on the attitudes of European colonialists towards the Arab and Arabized minority that dominated East Africa prior to European colonization. This region lies at the crossroads of what Europeans viewed as "black African" territory, con…
Julius Nyerere, Comprehension of Slavery, and Nation Building
This article examines the image of Julius Nyerere, the first president of independent Tanzania, among present-day citizens. Spotting of both the presence and persistence of his image in popular consciousness became an unexpected result of unrelated field research on the historical memory of 19th century slave trade and its influence on interethnic relations in the country. The study did not include any questions about Julius Nyerere, colonialism,…
Abolition of the 19th Century Arab Slave Trade in the Current Views of Christian and Muslim Afro-Tanzanians
Memories of the so-called Arab slave trade are quite vivid in Tanzania. Those Tanzanians whose ancestors were enslaved or belonged to communities affected by the slave trade, as well as carriers of the oral history still tell about it. We present the results of recent field studies in Tanzania to reveal these memories of the slave trade and especially of its abolition, their impact on current Afro-Tanzanian approaches to Arabs, and the difference…
Bagamoyo Imperial and Actual
In recent decades, items of colonial photography, including those dedicated to German East Africa, have become the subject of research by historians and anthropologists. Many of the photographs eventually became postcards issued to introduce newly conquered territories to the citizens of the empire, to a lesser extent their population, culture and way of life, and to a greater extent those achievements (both real and imaginary) that the metropoli…
Visual Colonization
The article deals with the phenomenon of expressing colonialist concepts of racial and social hierarchy in German postcards, photographs and illustrations presenting German East Africa. The means of this expressing are shown, namely: tendentious selection of the main subject to depict; various compositional decisions placing the figures and elements which personify and symbolize the colonialist side in a compositionally dominating position within…
Memory about the Arab Slave Trade in Modern-Day Tanzania
The article discusses the results of field research conducted in Tanzania from August 24 to September 14, 2018, which focused on the historical memory of the Arab slave trade in East Africa and the Indian Ocean in the 19th century, as well as its influence on the interethnic relations in the country today. Structured and nonstructured interviews (mostly in-depth) were conducted in Dar es Salaam, Bagamoyo and Zanzibar. In general, opinions were al…
Representation of East African Slave Trade in Modern Tanzanian Schoolbooks
The paper deals with interrelations of the illustrations and the text in narrating East African slave trade of the 19th century in modern Tanzanian school books. A visible modifying of historical reality is promoted in some history textbooks: the industrial revolution in Europe and its need in labor force (even in slave labor force on “plantations” and factories in Europe itself) are presented as the main reason for the development of the East Af…
