The Perils of Ethnicity
Postscript
Although the French and Portuguese were not present as colonial powers in what is normally thought of as East Africa, it is useful to consider briefly their ways of operating in the colonial setting. This exercise is of interest from the point of view of comparison, and because the methods adopted help to illustrate the concept of assimilation (and in the case of the Portuguese even amalgamation), although in neither case was the process ever ful…
Asians in East Africa
The term ‘Asian’ is often used, especially since partition, to denote those whose ancestry is from the Indian sub-continent. ‘Arabs’ are seen as forming a separate category, and the term ‘Indian’ is reserved for visitors whose normal country of residence is India. However, the term ‘Indian’ will be adopted here to include all whose ancestry is from India, Pakistan or Bangla Desh. The term ‘Asian’ will be used here to include both Indians and Arab…
Racism, Racialism and Segregation in the African Context
Before examining the situation in East Africa in detail, it is appropriate to look at issues of race in the broader African context. Certain historical developments, some very recent and many more within living memory, have continued to affect modern political consciousness. In this chapter the first phenomenon considered, that of the slave trade, belongs to an earlier historical epoch. But it will be examined in some detail, because no other ins…
Race and Ethnicity in East Africa
Race and ethnicity continue to be important, if unwelcome, factors in modern politics. This is evident in East Africa: the ethnic factor is often dominant in multi-party elections, while in Rwanda and
The Last Church of God and His Christ1
L'A. presente la Derniere Eglise de Dieu et de son Christ, exemple d'une Eglise independante parmi les mouvements d'independance religieuse au Malawi qui ont pris beaucoup d'ampleur sans faire beaucoup de bruit, a l'inverse de certains mouvements extremistes. Sont exposes : la doctrine de cette Eglise qui a debute en 1925, son histoire, ses rapports avec le gouvernement colonial, ses relations avec d'autres Eglises et avec la culture indigene, so…
The Last Church of God and His Christ
The Tanzanian Peasantry
Part 1 Theoretical and macroscopic considerations: participation in defining Tanzanian realities, Norma Romm the rise and fall of Nyerere's populaism (ujamaa), Sam Maghimbi the conflict between the state and grassroots-based institutions in Tanzania's rural development, Sam Maghimbi structural adjustment and the performance of the agricultural sector in Tanzania, 1980-1990, A.K. Kashuliza and E.R. Mbiha social changes and the rural elderly in Tan…
Culture, Nationalism, and the Invention of Tradition in Malawi
In May 1994 the Life President of Malawi, Dr H. Kamuzu Banda, the world's oldest Head of State, was peacefully defeated in the country's first multi-party elections after having been in power since February 1963. During that 31 year era his Malawi Congress Party (MCP) régime had been characterised by a remarkably high degree of legitimacy. It can of course be argued that this was simply based on political repression, which certainly existed, nota…

Residual Religiosity on a Hull Council Estate
In the 1960s it was widely assumed that a process of secularisation was taking place and was likely to continue. Recent empirical data about a council estate, which among other things relate religious variables to age, are thought to throw light on such questions. These findings demonstrate that 'religiosity' tends to increase with age, but that for certain purposes important elements of residual religiosity remain. The decline in Sunday School i…
Functionalism and the Devlin-Hart Controversy
Missionaries and Anthropology
It might be anticipated initially that Social Anthropology, with its Enlightenment origins, would mix uneasily with missionary work. Rationalist commitments have been very common among anthropologists; traditional religion might be admitted to have a social function, but the same would not be likely to be said of Christianity imported from the West. Yet there has been evidence of individuals such as Edwin Smith,2 who have successfully spanned the…
