The Weight of Witnessing
The practice of witnessing holds particular power regarding the question of how best to assure children's wellbeing. This is especially true for the field of internationally initiated attempts at child protection, often against corporal punishment, as I have explored them in Zanzibar, Tanzania. Acts of witnessing are imbued with a sense of commitment, with a variety of expectations, and with a certain obligation, or responsibility, to act upon wh…
The politics of skeletons and ruination
Up until the 1990s, the Two Fishes Hotel on the South Kenya Coast was among the ten major hotels in Diani Beach. Today, the consequences of capitalist ruination on tourism can be observed in the decay of some once prospering hotels along on one of East Africa’s most popular tourist shores. In this article, I engage with the ruins of the Two Fishes Hotel in Diani Beach by taking as point of departure what the people who live with the ruins can tel…
Ordinary childhoods and everyday Islamic practices of protection and care in Zanzibar
In Zanzibar, religiously framed practices impact children s socialisation. Many actions that frame Zanzibari children s everyday lives from birth rituals, to poetry recitation, to formal education are closely tied to Islam. With ninety-nine percent of Zanzibaris identifying as Muslim, this sense of identity is fostered and transmitted from when a child is born. This article explores how conceptions of the everyday and the ordinary reflect in earl…
To Everyone Who Told Zanzis That They Are Not Omani”
In this article, I explore some of the contemporary forms of expression that young Swahili-speakers below the age of 35 turn to in Oman to make claims to Omani citizenship and belonging. Building on long-standing discussions of Zanzibari-Omani identity, I discuss how second and third generation Zanzibari-Omanis of mixed backgrounds negotiate a sense of being both ‘Swahili’ and ‘Arab’ as part of their broader understandings of what it means to be …
Kuishi Ughaibuni
Ughaibu, in Swahili, describes a state of being absent, or missing, a state of unobtainability and remoteness. Paired with the locative ‘-ni’, ughaibuni translates as ‘diaspora’. The concept of diaspora was recently put at the centre of a policy issued by the government of Zanzibar in 2017. In The Diaspora Policy of Zanzibar the ‘Zanzibar Diaspora’ refers to ‘people originating from Zanzibar who are residing in foreign countries but maintain patr…
Looking at and seeing beyond young people's photographs of 'child protection' in Zanzibar
In this think piece, I argue that making children diagnosticians of their own well-being can contribute to a broader understanding of child protection that goes beyond singular issues like corporal punishment. Children themselves are well placed to help define what their protection needs to entail and what is essential to their own well-being. What child protection means to children themselves is best understood by granting young people authority…
Decolonizing the child protection apparatus
In Zanzibar, child protection actors hold reservations against the child protection aspects of child rights governance as they are considered to carry connotations of moral devaluation and to dismiss multiple ways of protecting children. In this article, I argue that this rejection of child protection is a means of constructing a distinction from too exclusive ways of regulating and defining what childhood and safety ought to be, rather than a di…
The impact of the school space on research methodology, child participation and safety
This paper discusses the impact of school environments as research spaces on participatory research methods, children’s agency and safety. The article draws on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork on children’s perceptions of protection programmes in state and Qur’anic schools in Zanzibar Town. Working with ‘draw & write’ and photovoice approaches disclosed issues with children’s safety in schools and highlighted limitations of participatory resea…
Discourses of discipline. An anthropology of corporal punishment in Japan’s schools and sports
Can we rely on the idea of ‘culture’ to explain the continuing use of corporal punishment (taibatsu) in Japanese classroom and sports education despite its illegality since 1941? How will paying at
