With caravan mobility being of pivotal importance to colonial rule during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the exploration of vernacular transport and its governance during this period sheds new light on the trajectories of colonial statehood. The author addresses key questions such as the African resilience to colonial interventions, the issue of labor recruitment, and the volatility of colonial infrastructure. This book unveils a fundamental contradiction in the way that German administrators dealt with precolonial modes of transport in East Africa. While colonizers championed for the abolishment of caravan transport, they strongly depended on porters in the absence of pack animals or railways. To bring this contradiction to the fore, the author studies the shifting role of caravans in East Africa during the era of ‘high imperialism.’ Uncovering the extent to which porters and caravan entrepreneurs challenged and shaped colonial policymaking, this book provides an insightful read for historians studying | | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | | 关键词 | history of transport; caravan; colonialism; African transport; mobility; labour; German Empire; infrastruct | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89470-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-89472-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-89470-2Series ISSN 2635-1633 Series E-ISSN 2635-1641 | | issn_series | 2635-1633 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
