Examines the social, political and administrative repercussions of rapid urban growth in Dar es Salaam, tracing the origins of an often coercive response to urbanisation in postcolonial Tanzania to colonial practices. British policy attempted to marginalise the growing numbers of Africans who did not fit colonial criteria for town residence. An underclass emerged whose rights to urban citizenship were eroded by a policy response that criminalised their economic activities and their very presence in the town.

From its modest beginnings in the mid-19th century, Dar es Salaam has grown to become one of sub-Saharan Africa's most important urban centres. A major political, economic and cultural hub, the city stood at the cutting edge of trends that transformed twentieth-century East Africa. Dar es Salaam has recently attracted the attention of a diverse, multidisciplinary, range of scholars, making it currently one of the continents most studied urban centres. This collection from eleven scholars from Africa, Europe, North America and Japan, draws on some of the best of this scholarship and offers a comprehensive, and accessible, survey of the city's develop-ment.

For a few critical days in January 1964, the stability of Tanganyika in east Africa hung in the balance: its army had mutinied. Running out of options, President Nyerere and his ministers reluctantly (and privately) requested urgent British help. The British employed amphibious forces which happened to be in the area, a marine Commando and a small aircraft carrier. Reacting quickly, the hastily improvised force put down the mutiny and restored order with minimal loss of life. It was the last time that British forces would act alone in Africa. 216pp, UK.

Examines the complex history of slavery in East Africa, focusing on the area that came under German colonial rule. In contrast to the policy pursued at the time by other colonial powers in Africa, the German authorities did not legally abolish slavery in their colonial territories.

Ufipa, a labour reserve for Tanganyika, witnessed minimal colonial development. Instead, evangelization by White Fathers Catholic missionaries began in the 1870s. By the 1950s, the missionaries had secured varying degrees of political, economic and social authority in the region, and the vast majority of Fipa had converted to Catholicism. This study examines how this happened from the Fipa perspective and how the opportunities of the Catholic Church complemented and competed with Fipa processes of social and biological reproduction. 256pp, USA.

The twentieth-century history of Njombe, the Southern Highlands district of Tanzania, can aptly be summed up as exclusion within incorporation. Njombe was marginalized even as it was incorporated into the colonial economy. Njombe's people came to see themselves as excluded from agricultural markets, access to medical services, schooling - in short, from all opportunity to escape the impoverishing trap of migrant labour.

The double-sided nature of African nationalism - its capacity to inspire expressions of unity, and its tendency to narrow political debate - are explored by sixteen historians, focusing on the experience of Tanzania. The narrative of the nation of Tanzania, which was created by the anti-colonial nationalist movement, expanded by the Union after the Zanzibar Revolution, and fused by the ideology of Ujamaa by Julius Nyerere, has shaped Tanzanian political discourse for decades, but has not obliterated the great wealth of political discourses and identities which exist within the nation. Index, 337pp, UK. JAMES CURREY PUBLISHERS.

The African national project has been defeated, and the imperial/globalisation project is on the offensive argues one of Africa's most distinguished public intellectuals in this collection of essays. Yet there is bound to be a backlash witness Latin America. African scholars are already debating the resurgence of nationalism and Pan-Africanism, and searching for alternative paths of development and democracy. The ninety essays contained in this book are selected by the author from his writings published in newspaper columns during the period 1990-2005, a critical time in Tanzania that witnessed the rise and fall of nationalism, and transition to and consolida-tion of neo-liberalism. 305pp, SENEGAL.

Argues that the Pan-Africanist debate is back on the historical agenda. The stresses and strains in the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar since its formation some forty years ago are not showing any sign of abating. Meanwhile, imperialism under new forms and labels continues to bedevil the continent in ever-aggressive, if subtle, ways. The political federation of East Africa, which was one of the main spin-offs of the Pan-Africanism of the nationalist period, is reappear-ing on the political stage, albeit in a distorted form of regional integration. 336pp, TANZANIA.

Nearly half a million men and women entered colonial wage labour circuits during German rule of Tanzania. Framed within the context of industrialization in Germany, this study examines the social and environmental consequences of labour migration in early colonial Tanzania. Case studies are used to explore transforma-tions in slavery and porterage, social and work life on plantations and railways, and gendered conflict at the household and village level. Also examines how rural social change intersected with the Maji Maji rebellion of 1905. xxxvi+223pp, 2 maps, 19 illus, bib, index, UK, USA, RSA. JAMES CURREY PUBLISHERS.

Tanganyika's special status as a UN Trust Territory was a decisive factor in the timing, method and manner in which it became independent. This study investigates the interaction between Tanganyikan Africans, Great Britain and the UN in this process, and how the Africans exploited this status by means of petitions and manipulation of UN Visiting Missions. It provides unique insight into the UN's role in dismantling colonial empires, Great Britain's history as a colonial power and the development of political consciousness of modern Africans in a colonial and international context.
