The name Dar es Salaam comes from the Arabic phrase meaning house of peace. A popular but erroneous translation is ëhaven of peaceí resulting from a mix-up of the Arabic words "dar" (house) and "bandar" (harbour). Named in 1867 by the Sultan of Zanzibar, The town has for a long time benefitted from a reputation of being a place of tranquility. The tropical drowsiness is a comfort To The socialist poverty and under-equipment that causes an unending anxiety to reign over the town. Today, For the Tanzanian, The town has become Bongoland, that is, a place where survival is a matter of cunning and intelligence (bongo means ëbrainí in Kiswahili). Far from being an anecdote, this slide into toponomy records the mutations that affect the links that Tanzanians maintain with their principal city And The manner in which it represents them. This book takes into account the changes by departing from the hypothesis that they reveal a process of territorialisation. What are the processesóenvisaged as spatial investmentsówhich, by producing exclusivity, demarcations and exclusions, fragment the urban space and its social fabric? Do the practices and discussions of the urban dwellers construct limited spaces, appropriated, identified and managed by communities (in other words, territories)? Dar es Salaam is often described as a diversified, relatively homogenous and integrating place. However, Is it not more appropriate to describe it as fragmented? as territorialisation can only occur through frequenting, management and localised investment, it is therefore through certain placesófirst shelter and residential area, then the school, daladala station, The fire hydrant And The quaysóthat the town is observed. This led to broach the question in the geographical sense of urban policy carried out since German colonisation to date. At the same time, The analysis of these developments allows for an evaluation of the role of the urban crisis And The responses it brings. In sum, The aim of this approach is to measure the impact of the uniqueness of the place on the current changes. On one hand, this is linked to its long-term insertion in the Swahili civilisation, and on the other, To its colonisation by Germany and later Britain and finally, To the singularity of the post-colonial path. This latter is marked by an alternation of Ujamaa with Structural Adjustment Plans applied since 1987. How does this remarkable political culture take part in the emerging city today? This book is a translation of De Dar es Salaam ‡ Bongoland: Mutations urbaines en Tanzanie, published by Karthala, Paris in 2006.

Dar es Salaam : " le Port de la Paix " ou " la Porte du Salut ". Dénommée ainsi en 1867 par le Sultan de Zanzibar, la ville a longtemps bénéficié d'une réputation de calme. L'assoupissement tropical confortait la pénurie et le sous-équipement socialistes pour y faire régner un ennui sans heurt. Or, aujourd'hui, pour les Tanzaniens, elle est devenue Bongoland, c'est-à-dire un lieu où la survie est affaire de ruse, d'intelligence (bongo : cerveau en kiswahili). Loin d'être anecdotique, ce glissement toponymique enregistre les mutations qui affectent les liens que les Tanzaniens entretiennent avec la première ville du pays et la façon dont ils se la représentent. Cet ouvrage rend compte de ces mutations en partant de l'hypothèse qu'elles relèvent de processus de territorialisation. Quels sont les processus - envisagés comme pratiques d'investissement spatial - qui, en produisant de l'exclusivité, du bornage et de l'exclusion, fragmentent l'espace urbain et son tissu social ? Les pratiques et les discours des urbains construisent-ils des espaces limités, appropriés, identifiés et gérés par des communautés, c'est-à-dire des territoires ? Dar es Salaam, souvent décrite comme une ville diversifiée, relativement homogène et intégratrice, n'est-elle pas plutôt fragmentée ? Comme la territorialisation ne peut advenir qu'au travers de fréquentation, de gestion et d'investissements localisés, c'est donc à partir de certains lieux - le logement et le quartier d'abord, l'école, la station de dala-dala, la borne fontaine ou les quais du port ensuite - que la ville a été observée. Cela a amené à aborder la question du sens géographique des politiques urbaines menées depuis la colonisation allemande jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Dans le même temps, l'analyse de ces équipements permet d'évaluer le rôle de la crise urbaine et des réponses, qui lui sont apportées. In fine, l'ambition de cette approche est de mesurer l'impact de la singularité du lieu - liée d'une part à son insertion sur la longue durée dans la civilisation swahili, d'autre part à sa colonisation par l'Allemagne et, enfin, à la singularité de la trajectoire post-coloniale, marquée par l'alternance de l'Ujaama et des Plans d'ajustement structurels appliqués depuis 1987 - sur les mutations en cours. Comment cette culture politique singulière, articulant temps long et temps court, participe-t-elle à l'émergence de la ville d'aujourd'hui ?

Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have minorities from the Indian sub-continent amongst their population. The East African Indians mostly reside in the main cities, particularly Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Mombasa, Kampala; they can also be found in smaller urban centres and in the remotest of rural townships. They play a leading social and economic role as they work in business, manufacturing and the service industry, and make up a large proportion of the liberal professions. They are divided into multiple socio-religious communities, but united in a mutual feeling of meta-cultural identity. This book aims at painting a broad picture of the communities of Indian origin in East Africa, striving to include changes that have occurred since the end of the 1980s. The different contributions explore questions of race and citizenship, national loyalties and cosmopolitan identities, local attachment and transnational networks. Drawing upon anthropology, history, sociology and demography, Indian Africa depicts a multifaceted population and analyses how the past and the present shape their sense of belonging, their relations with others, their professional and political engagement.

"From its modest beginnings in the 1860s, Dar es Salaam has grown to become one of Africa's most important urban centres. A major political, economic and cultural hub, the city has also acted as a crucible of local social and cultural innovation, exerting a powerful influence on wider Tanzanian society. Reflecting important contemporary socio-economic trends of urban Africa, it has recently attracted the attention of a diverse range of scholars from several disciplines. This collection draws on the best of this scholarship." --Book Jacket.

Taifa is a story of African intellectual agency, but it is also an account of how nation and race emerged out of the legal, social, and economic histories in one major city, Dar es Salaam. Nation and race—both translatable as taifa in Swahili—were not simply universal ideas brought to Africa by European colonizers, as previous studies assume. They were instead categories crafted by local African thinkers to make sense of deep inequalities, particularly those between local Africans and Indian immigrants. Taifa shows how nation and race became the key political categories to guide colonial and postcolonial life in this African city. Using deeply researched archival and oral evidence, Taifa transforms our understanding of urban history and shows how concerns about access to credit and housing became intertwined with changing conceptions of nation and nationhood. Taifa gives equal attention to both Indians and Africans; in doing so, it demonstrates the significance of political and economic connections between coastal East Africa and India during the era of British colonialism, and illustrates how the project of racial nationalism largely severed these connections by the 1970s.

When socialism collapsed in Tanzania, the government-controlled music industry gave way to a vibrant independent music scene. Alex Perullo explores the world of the bands, music distributors, managers, and clubs that attest to the lively and creative music industry in Dar es Salaam. Perullo examines the formation of the city's music economy, considering the means of musical production, distribution, protection, broadcasting, and performance. He exposes both legal and illegal strategies for creating business opportunities employed by entrepreneurs who battle government restrictions and give flight to their musical aspirations. This is a singular look at the complex music landscape in one of Africa's most dynamic cities.

This volume examines the discursive relations between indigenous, colonial and post-colonial legacies of place-naming in Africa in terms of the production of urban space and place. It is conducted by tracing and analysing place-naming processes, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa during colonial times (British, French, Belgian, Portuguese), with a considerable attention to both the pre-colonial and post-colonial situations. By combining in-depth area studies research – some of the contributions are of ethnographic quality – with colonial history, planning history and geography, the authors intend to show that culture matters in research on place names. This volume goes beyond the recent understanding obtained in critical studies of nomenclature, normally based on lists of official names, that place naming reflects the power of political regimes, nationalism, and ideology.
