Divided patriarchs in a labour migration economy
This chapter examines a debate over family, marriage, gender and colonialism during the 1950s. Given that the debaters were appointed chiefs and other male members of a local elite, that they lived in an economy of long-distance labour migration, and that their purpose was the codification of family law, it might be expected to have produced resolute defense of patriarchy. Why the debate instead produced indecision and division is the question ad…
Researching the Aftermath of Slavery in Mainland East Africa
This article examines ethical, practical, and methodological challenges in researching the aftermath of slavery in continental East Africa away from the coastal plantation belt. Interest in post-slavery there is recent and inspired by the apparent contrast with West Africa, where the issue is much more salient. The article explains this silence by highlighting politically-motivated avoidance of the issue in colonial sources and the preference of …

Slave emancipation, Christian communities, and dissent in western Tanzania, 1878-1960
This dissertation explores the ways marginalized slaves and orphans came together to create new mission communities in western Tanzania. It shows that slave emancipation was a complex process that involved flight to the missions, public declarations, and certification of emancipation. Former slaves joined missions and their descendants became the first-generation Christians, and some worked as teachers, pastors and catechists. The dissertation ce…

Chapter Eight. Taking Oral Sources Beyond The Documentary Record Of Maji Maji
Virtually all historians of Maji Maji have asked why and how communities scattered across a vast region rose up against colonial authority. This chapter deals with an account of events at Yakobi during Maji Maji. It turns back to preceding years, when Paul Groschel established the mission, entered into contentious relations with German authorities and maintained an uneasy relationship with Mbeyela. The chapter discusses the oral accounts from Yak…

The Gogo
We think of our American democracy as being a model for the world--and it has been. But today it compares unfavorably in some respects, especially when it comes to the universal franchise. The right to vote is more conditional and less exercised in the United States than in many other mature democracies. As became clear to all in the presidential election of 2000, when the stakes are high, efforts to define voter eligibility and manage the voting…

Trypanosomiasis Control in African History
Social control of trypanosomiasis in African history deserves further study. The pioneering work in this field is John Ford's respected but neglected The Role of the Trypanosomiases in African Ecology (1971). While Ford's arguments have received support from recent findings in immunological, epidemiological and epizootiological research, they have rarely met with evaluation or engagement, either in historical or scientific literature. Historians …

East Coast Fever in Socio-Historical Context
East Coast Fever, a form of the cattle disease known as theileriosis, has been a scourge of livestock-owning inhabitants of many African countries during the twentieth century. It constitutes one of the major threats to the cattle industry in Tanzania and indeed a large expanse of eastern, central and southern Africa.l Analysis of theileriosis in these regions, nevertheless, has not nosed into the flow of historians' narratives.2 Their familiar l…
Famine and Social Change during the Transition to Colonial Rule in Northeastern Tanzania, 1880-1896
The Zigua-speaking cultivators of northeastern Tanzania experienced a prolonged ecological and subsistence crisis between 1880 and 1940.1 Devastating famines which occurred in 1884-1885, 1894-1896, 1898-1900, 1907-1908, 1916-1918, 1925 and 1932-1935 punctuated this period of declining food security. Even during the years when widespread famine did not occur, localized or seasonal food deficits developed. Though the cycle of severe recursive famin…
