The history of Tanganyika from the Maji Maji rebellion of 1905 (the
greatest African rebellion against early European rule) to the last
years of German administration. It examines a colonial situation in
depth, ranging from the processes of change in African societies to
the decisions of policy-makers in Berlin. In the aftermath of
rebellion an imaginative Governor, Freiherr von rechenberg,
initiated a programme of African cash-crop agriculture. This
programme was reversed by a settler community which successfully
manipulated the German political system. Meanwhile, after their
defeat in armed rebellion, Africans sought power through
educational and economic advancement. Tanganyika in 1912 was poised
for that struggle for control between European settler and educated
African which has been a fundamental theme of the modern history of
East and Central Africa. Dr Illiffe's book is one of the few
available studies of German colonial administration. He has drawn
on a wide range of sources, both in East Africa and Germany.
Written in the light of current reappraisal of African history, the
book gives valuable insight into African initiatives during the
early years of European rule.
