Mtoro bin Mwinyi Bakari

Ludger Wimmelb�Cker

Description

This book presents a study of the life history of Mtoro bin Mwinyi Bakari (c. 1869 - 1927). Mtoro bin Mwinyi Bakari grew up and studied Islamic Sciences in Bagamoyo, Tanzania. He became a Swahili lecturer and author in Germany and is known to have written Desturi za Wasuaheli, an important work in Swahili culture. The book introduces the wider historical context of his writings, and, in particular, reconstructs the racism and discrimination in both the colonial and metropolitan contexts, features which negatively influenced his career and his life as a whole. The study also offers insights into contributions of the colonized to the study of African languages and cultures during this same historical context.

Colonial oppression is one
of the most reprehensible forms of
imperialism. The horror of such
political power, to be condemned
all the more strongly since it is
directed against the weakest, not
only humiliates the nation that
makes use of it, it entirely destroys
civilization as such.

The French novelist, Victor Margueritte,
in a message to the international
Congress against Colonial Oppression and
Imperialism in Brussels, 1927
