The Maji Maji war of 1905-07 in Tanzania was the largest African
rebellion against European colonialism. This volume offers the
fullest account of the war in the English language. Using oral
accounts and little-used documentary evidence, contributors offer
detailed histories of districts and localities as well as groups,
such as African soldiers in the German army, elephant hunters and
women, whose roles in war have been neglected. The contributors
examine varieties of communication during wartime, including the
circulation of rumor between Africans and Germans. They also offer
new insight into the most famous aspect of the war - the use of
medicine which was believed to provide invulnerability. The
contributors are historians and an archaeologist recognized as
authorities on Tanzanian history.
