Examining the process of abolition on the island of Pemba off the East
African coast in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this
book demonstrates the links between emancipation and the redefinition
of honor among all classes of people on the island. By examining the social
vulnerability of ex-slaves and the former slave-owning elite caused by the
Abolition Decree of
1897,
this study argues that moments of resistance on
Pemba reflected an effort to mitigate vulnerability rather than resist the
hegemonic power of elites or the colonial state. As the meanings of the
Swahili
word heshima shifted from honor to respectability, individuals
reputations came under scrutiny, and the Islamic kadhi and colonial courts
became an integral location for interrogating reputations in the community.
This study illustrates the ways in which former slaves used piety, reputation,
gossip, education, kinship, and witchcraft to negotiate the gap between
emancipation and local notions of belonging.
