*AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW*
This is a social history of Africa firmly situated in a tradition
of scholarship which stresses African agency as the primary force
shaping historical change. Yet it does this while paying full
attention to the colonial sources, both those produced in Germany
and in German East Africa, sources which have been under-utilized
by historians to the detriment of our understanding of the history
of German colonialism in Tanzania which rewards careful
reading.
*TANZANIAN AFFAIRS*
A useful contribution to the large literature on the decline of
slavery under colonial rule.
