Most of the published studies have focused on the social histories of the city’s denizens, urban governance, spatial distribution, cultural histories and environmental issues. Outstanding works in this group include James R. Brennan’s Taifa: Making Nation and Race in Urban Tanzania (2012); Bernard Calas’ (editor) From Dar es Salaam to Bongoland: Urban Mutations in Tanzania (2007); and Laura Sykes and Uma Waide’s Dar es Salaam: A Dozen Drives around the City (1997). These books have employed approaches ranging from those employed by ethnographers, geographers, sociologists to those used by conventional historians. Arguably, popular works of fiction which are plenty in postcolonial Dar es Salaam have found no abode in such great publications. Put differently, the previous urban historians have hardly employed literary works as sources in writing and interpreting urban histories. The outcome of neglecting such sources has been underrepresentation of the intellectual history of the city.","PeriodicalId":134808,"journal":{"name":"Tanzania Zamani: A Journal of Historical Research and Writing","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114756207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Managing Inter-State Border Disputes: Experience from the Malawi-Tanzania Border Wrangle","authors":"James Zotto","doi":"10.56279/tza20211014","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56279/tza20211014","url":null,"abstract":"For decades, Malawi has been in a border dispute with Tanzania. Efforts to manage the dispute have been made. This paper highlights the border dispute management initiatives taken by Malawi and Tanzania. Specifically, it examines the reasons why the management of the dispute has not been successful. The paper begins by clarifying certain conceptual issues. It then describes the management of border disputes in Africa in order to establish how the disputes have been managed on the continent as a whole. This helps to establish the success or failure of the border dispute management initiatives on the continent. Then, the paper examines the management of the border dispute involving Nyasaland and Tanganyika during the colonial period, specifically during the late British colonial period. Finally, it analyses the border dispute management initiatives taken by Malawi and Tanzania during the post-colonial period. Data for this paper are drawn from multiple sources, including documentary information and oral interviews. The argument is that the colonial governments of Nyasaland and Tanganyika and, later, the post-colonial governments of Malawi and Tanzania, attempted to manage the border dispute under consideration but in vain because of the various socio-economic and political circumstances that influenced the process which consequently retarded the efforts to manage the dispute. In this regard, the paper has found that the colonising power did not put considerable effort in managing the dispute because it was not their priority and because it did not affect them in any way. The early post-colonial governments of Malawi and Tanzania did not make a great effort to manage the dispute either, since they were preoccupied with other pressing issues such as building their national economies and repositioning themselves in the new, post-colonial context.","PeriodicalId":134808,"journal":{"name":"Tanzania Zamani: A Journal of Historical Research and Writing","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133892773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maendeleo: From Colonial to Postcolonial Development in Tanzania 《从殖民到后殖民发展的坦桑尼亚》

Koponen","doi":"10.56279/tza20211012","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56279/tza20211012","url":null,"abstract":"This article argues that the concept of maendeleo, which conflates development with progress, has served many contradictory purposes in Tanzania, and traces how it has worked its way through different phases of Tanzanian development history. The starting point is the recognition that the concept of development, and maendeleo even more so, has a great variety of meanings and it is not possible to pick up one as ‘correct’. Rather, the argument goes, it is this ambiguity where the concept derives its power from. While everybody can agree on its significance, many things can be accommodated under its umbrella. It has been made such a concept by its history which has allowed it to accumulate various meanings. The article maps the process of how this happened in Tanzania. The German colonialists introduced the notion in the guise of development of exploitable resources. The British followed the lead, formalizing the idea of mutual benefit as dual mandate and adding “native welfare” to it. A crucial shift occurred during the transition from the late colonial to early postcolonial development. As colonialism approached its end, the idea of development seemed to be in danger to outlive its political usefulness, but it was rescued by African nationalists as maendeleo. They appropriated the concept and made use of it in their independence campaign and later elevated it to a major prop for their rule. The article concludes that while maendeleo undoubtedly has been a politically successful concept, it has been much less effective as a guide for economic and social transformation. This raises the question whether the very concepts of development and maendeleo have become part of the problem rather than that of the solution.","PeriodicalId":134808,"journal":{"name":"Tanzania Zamani: A Journal of Historical Research and Writing","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133632366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Edward","doi":"10.56279/tza20210926","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56279/tza20210926","url":null,"abstract":"Since the inception of the Historical Association of Tanzania (HAT) in the late 1960s, a significant body of historical literature on Tanzania has been produced. An overview of the produced knowledge reveals that there has been an accentuation temporally on the pre-colonial and post-colonial periods, and thematically on political, economic and social structures. A defining characteristic of almost all the literature published in that period is its theoretical and methodological subscription to grand narratives, particularly the nationalist and materialist narratives. Before its stasis in 2000, HAT had produced three big monographs, namely A History of Tanzania (1969), Tanzania under Colonial Rule (1981) and Zanzibar under Colonial Rule (1991). Its members had also published many individual works in the form of articles, book chapters and books. Invariably, the works focused on specific themes and areas. John Iliffe’s A Modern History of Tanganyika (1979), which followed the approach of P. H. Clarke’s A Short History of Tanganyika: Mainland of Tanzania (1966), is the only individual publication to have transcended the conspicuously thematic and areal limitations of the ranks and file of HAT. Iliffe’s work explored in detail the pre-colonial and colonial aspects, largely covering the whole of Mainland Tanzania.","PeriodicalId":134808,"journal":{"name":"Tanzania Zamani: A Journal of Historical Research and Writing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130976247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines the main ideas that propelled his decision to become a full-time politician (1954) and establish a political party – The Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) and use it to mobilize the people of Tanganyika to demand independence from the British. The article examines a number of related issues and themes in the history of Tanzania and Nyerere’s contributions to it. It starts with a section on Mwalimu Julius K. Nyerere – the person , where it shows who Mwalimu Nyerere himself said he was, the ideas and principles he stood for, and the way he elaborated and used them to mobilize the people of Tanzania for independence. It notes the sacrifices he made in keeping with what he said he was, for instance by resigning from important positions of responsibility for different reasons at different times. The paper then elaborates on Nyerere’s fundamental principles and beliefs: that people (men and women) are the purpose of society, and that modern states could and should be established on the basis of the principles of the traditional African society. In the last section, the paper elaborates on the type of nation Nyerere wanted to build and provides reflections on Nyerere’s achievements and disappointments as leader of an African country in the early independence period.","PeriodicalId":134808,"journal":{"name":"Tanzania Zamani: A Journal of Historical Research and Writing","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131712289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New Thematic Directions in History at the University of Dar es Salaam, 1990s to 2017 达累斯萨拉姆大学历史新主题方向，1990年至2017年

Production of historical knowledge has been one of the most dynamic undertakings at the University of Dar es Salaam from its inception in the 1960s to the present. Political, economic, and labour histories were the main themes that defined the essential contents of historical scholarship from the 1960s to the 1980s. A cursory look at history publications, postgraduate dissertations and theses, curricular reviews, and new degree programmes produced in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s sheds light on new thematic directions that have recently evolved to complement the pre-existing ones. They include histories of environments, medicine, social identities, diplomacy, war, cultural heritage and tourism. Historians and postgraduate students have articulated these themes through creative and critical reading of archival and oral sources to uncover thoughts, actions, and lived experiences of Tanzanian in their homes, communities, and workplaces. These themes have enabled the University of Dar es Salaam to continue with its historic agenda of rendering visible the ideas and practices of Tanzanians, and Africans more generally, as they interacted with their changing physical and cultural environments and as they engaged with the external world. The article has six sections. The first and second sections introduce the recent thematic directions and situate them in the historical contexts in which they evolved. The third and fourth sections analyse the content of the themes in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s, and their methodological and theoretical bases respectively. The fifth section considers changing curricular reviews and innovations that have signified new thematic directions in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. The sixth section concludes the article.","PeriodicalId":134808,"journal":{"name":"Tanzania Zamani: A Journal of Historical Research and Writing","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114091649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
