Description

What did it mean to be an African subject living in remote areas of Tanganyika at the end of the colonial era? For the Kaguru of Tanganyika, it meant daily confrontation with the black and white governmental officials tasked with bringing this rural people into the mainstream of colonial African life. Beidelman unveils the colonial system’s problems as it extended its authority into rural areas and shows how these problems persisted even after African independence.
