Synopsis

First impressions of Zanzibar’s long and contested history, from early contact with English ships to the rise of European influence on the island and its mainland coast.

This historical narrative tracks how Zanzibar and its rulers interacted with distant powers in the nineteenth century. It covers the arrival of English and other outsiders, the shifting control of the coast, and the complex story of trade, including the slave trade, diplomacy, and the early roots of colonial administration. The book draws on contemporary records and archives to present a vivid account of a small island that played a large role in regional history.

With a focus on key figures, turning points, and the economic and political forces that shaped the era, the work situates Zanzibar within the broader currents of East African and Indian Ocean history. It offers context for understanding how local leaders navigated foreign influence, while also documenting the impact of global powers on the island’s people and industries.

• Portraits of rulers and their diplomacy as they faced rising European involvement.


• Accounts of early encounters with English sailors and German and British colonial interests.


• Discussion of trade dynamics, slavery, and the social and economic life of the island and nearby coast.


• Context for the transition from independent rule to formal protection and administration.

Ideal for readers interested in African history, the Indian Ocean world, and the colonial interactions that reshaped East Africa.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
