Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Zanzibar in Contemporary Times: A Short History of the Southern East in the Nineteenth Century IT has been my endeavour in the following chapters to describe briefly the most interesting persons and events that are connected with the history of the Rulers of Zanzibar and their Dominions on the East Coast of Africa during the nineteenth century, and to give some account of this Island of the Southern East, its people and industries. The story is that of an Arab potentate from the Persian Gulf founding a nation in a land which from time imme morial had been colonized by his countrymen; of a small and unnoticed, almost unknown island, advancing to wealth and fame, enslaving half a continent and afterwards at death grips with the Powers of Christendom; of those Powers, like vultures upon the prey, dividing the spoils of their exhausted victim; and of an island, still perhaps to some extent in the trough, yet buoyant and of fair promise.

Download or read book Revolution In Zanzibar written by Donald Petterson and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-21 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold War exploded in Zanzibar in 1964 when African rebels slaughtered one of every ten Arabs. Led by a strange, messianic Ugandan, Cuban-trained factions headed the rebels, making Zanzibar (in the eyes of Washington) a potentially cancerous base for the communist subversion of mainland Africa. Exotic Zanzibar -- fabled island of spices, former slave-trading entrept, and stepping-off point for 19th century expeditions into the vast interior of the Dark Continent -- had succumbed to the terror of 20th century revolution and Cold War intrigue. In the vivid, eyewitness tradition of The Bang Bang Club and The Skull beneath the Skin , Donald Petterson weaves an engrossing tale of human drama played out against a background of violence and horror. As the only American in Zanzibar throughout the revolution, Petterson reports with the inside authority of a highly placed diplomatic observer, illuminating how the current troubles in Zanzibar are rooted in the Cold War and the revolution of 1964.
Download or read book Zanzibar written by Francis Barrow Pearce and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "First published in 1919 and written in the style of the times, Zanzibar Island Metropolis of Eastern Africa explores the fascinating history, culture and landscape of Zanzibar and manages to be a piece of history in its own right. Written while Zanzibar was still ruled by Sultans and a British protectorate, this 'Lonely Planet' of its day is a remarkable snapshot of a bygone era, while still containing insightful and relevant information for today's reader. Of particular interest is the discovery of how little Zanzibar has changed in the last century, from the friendly and welcoming nature of its people, to the sights and smells of the Darajani fish market. Perfect for history buffs, Zanzibar - Island Metropolis of Eastern Africa takes readers on a journey through Zanzibar and its people over the past 2000 years, discusses the geography and farming of the island, and the conditions of Stone Town - the 'City of Zanzibar' at a unique point in the island's history."--Jacket.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes various explorers' accounts of Zanzibar at different times *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "It was then capital of an Afro-Arab dynasty, a centre of commerce and international diplomacy, a seat of learning...and a gateway to Africa."- Abdul Sheriff, 1995 Situated about 25 miles off the Tanzanian coast, Zanzibar, with its sultans and spices, merchants and mosques, dhows and doorways of richly carved timber, has captured the imagination of travelers and writers for hundreds of years. It has long evoked a romantic mystique, calling up images of an island paradise in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Its gleaming Muslim Swahili town, built of white coralline limestone, can trace approximately a thousand years of maritime trading, and it also sustained a plantation economy based principally on slaves and cloves. Stone Town is one of the few historic trading cities from the Swahili civilization that remains a viable urban center to this day. For much of the last millennium, Zanzibar served as the center of maritime interaction and trade between Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and India, and the architectural and urban heritage of the island reflects the complex fusion of these cultural spheres. By tracing the changes seen in the archaeological record, it is possible to identify the transformations that occurred in the landscape, people, and architecture of Zanzibar. The earliest known people to call Zanzibar home, the Swahili, built their iconic coral rag houses on the strategically important Shangani Peninsula. It was therefore a populated-though sparsely so-island that European traders discovered during the Age of Exploration. The main settlement in Zanzibar was Mji Mkongwe ("old town" in Swahili), better known as Stone Town. It is today but one part of the modern Zanzibar City, but it is a site that has gone through many fascinating stages of development in history. Starting as a small and nondescript fishing village, the settlement became a royal residence and commercial bazaar through a complicated network of ethnic and cultural relations. The Portuguese were especially prominent in their activities in Stone Town, though their influence declined at the close of the 17th century, when the sultans of Oman emerged as the dominant political and economic force in the Indian Ocean region and eventually established Zanzibar as their base of operations. Tremendous amounts of wealth and influence were earned by Indian and Arab traders engaging in the clove and slave trade, and it was these two groups that had the longest lasting influence on the island's tangible formation to the present day. From the latter 19th century, the British exerted pressure and influence on Zanzibar in an attempt to end the centuries-long trade of slaves through the island. Today, the urban landscape contains a number of iconic structures and a wide variety of vernacular architectural styles, yet because of political and economic vicissitudes over the centuries, Stone Town has undergone both development and retrogression. The main buildings of the town that can to be viewed today were built during the 18th and 19th centuries. The old Arab Fort, the palaces of the sultans, numerous mosques, and elegant mansions with their massive, carved wooden doorways, dominated the town. Over the last hundred years, however, political changes have affected the architectural landscape in critical ways. The partition of Africa in the late 19th century diminished Zanzibar's commercial dominance, causing a decline in wealth and influence, and as a British protectorate, it became subject to colonial ideas of modernization. After a devastating revolution in the 1960s, during which some twelve thousand Arabs and Indians were killed before fleeing the islands, Zanzibar adopted a communist government.
Download or read book Zanzibar Uhuru written by Anne M. Chappel and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-01-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is 1964, a month after independence celebrations in the spice islands of Zanzibar, off the east coast of Africa. A brutal uprising takes place apparently led by a shadowy figure, John Okello. In the capital, Stone Town, a British official, Mark Hamilton, struggles to help the Sultan's government survive while protecting his young family. In the countryside, Ahmed al-Ibrahim, a Zanzibari Arab father, faces annihilation and a terrible decision. Fatima is his twelve-year-old daughter, and her life is changed forever by the violence that now sweeps across the islands. Fatima's survival through this chaos and the thirty years of rule by despotic Presidents takes all her courage and the kindness of other families. Elizabeth, Mark Hamilton's young daughter, also remembers the day of the Revolution and their escape across the seas. Her story too is touched by tragedy. Fatima and Elizabeth are connected in a way that takes almost fifty years to be revealed. Elizabeth will return to Zanzibar to fulfil her father's final request. The life journeys of the two women are different. The common link is the day of the Revolution and the act of a desperate man.
Download or read book The Peoples of Zanzibar written by Godfrey Dale and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Peoples of Zanzibar: Their Customs and Religious Beliefs This little book has been written in compliance with a request made to me by the Bishop of Zanzibar some time ago. It has been completed at home, unfortunately without the books of reference used in Zanzibar. It has been compiled with two objects in view, (1) To supply any new-comer to Zanzibar with a small manual which will give him a summary view of the situation, and to suggest to him useful lines of inquiry. (2) To give people at home, who are helping the Mission, some rough kind of idea of the nature of the situation in which missionaries find themselves, and of the difficulties with which the staff in Zanzibar have to cope. It makes no pretence at all to be a full treatment of any of the subjects discussed in the separate chapters. A large book might be written on any one of them. But the compiler hopes that it may prove a help to some and serve as a bunch of keys with which to unlock the doors of the various subjects contained in the book. Any corrections, criticisms or suggestions will be thankfully received. In dealing with other religions I have tried to write courteously and fairly, and have written not with the intention of scoring points, but of simply explaining how matters really stand. I sincerely hope the book may prove helpful to some interested in the Mission Field to-day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
