In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Zanzibar
Sultanate became the focal point of European imperial and
humanitarian policies, most notably Britain, France, and Germany.
In fact, the Sultanate was one of the few places in the world where
humanitarianism and imperialism met in the most obvious fashion.
This crucial encounter was perfectly embodied by the iconic meeting
of Dr. Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley in 1871. This book
challenges the common presumption that those humanitarian concerns
only served to conceal vile colonial interests. It brings the
repression of the East African slave trade at sea and the expansion
of empires into a new light in comparing French and British
archives for the first time.
