Notions of ustaarabu, a word expressing "civilization," and
questions of identities in Zanzibar have historically been shaped
by the development of Islam and association with littoral societies
around the Indian Ocean. The 1964 Revolution marked a break in that
history and imposed new notions of African civilization and
belonging in Zanzibar. The revolutionary state subsequently
introduced tourism and the market economy to maintain its hegemony
over Zanzibar. In light of these developments, and with locals
facing growing socio-economic marginalization and political
uncertainty, Tourism and Social Change in Post-Socialist Zanzibar:
Struggles for Identity, Movement, and Civilization examines how
Zanzibaris are struggling to move through the local landscape in
the post-socialist era and articulate their ideas of belonging in
Zanzibar. This book further investigates how movements of
Zanzibaris within the emerging and contending social discourses are
reconstituting meanings for conceptualizing ustaarabu to define
their roots in Zanzibar.
