It was an exceptionally bloody conflict, with atrocities committed on both sides. For decades, many of the worst abuses by British colonial forces were kept hidden.

This article analyses how concepts of development ( <a href="https://beige.party/tags/maendeleo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maendeleo</span></a> ) and civilisation ( <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ustaarabu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ustaarabu</span></a> ) figured in poems written by Swahili authors between 1888 and 1907. Going beyond a reading of these texts as pro- or anti-colonial, it shows the importance poets attached to urban infrastructural improvement. Poems were also informed by the self-image of the superior, urban, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Muslim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Muslim</span></a> strata of coastal society ( <a href="https://beige.party/tags/waungwana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waungwana</span></a> ) in contrast to inferior <a href="https://beige.party/tags/nonMuslim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonMuslim</span></a> inland societies ( <a href="https://beige.party/tags/washenzi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>washenzi</span></a> ). Several poets suggested that inland societies should be disciplined, yet differences to coastal Swahili society were usually not couched in terms of temporality nor in terms of a civilising mission. Poets had to come to terms, however, with new power relations as a result of German conquest. While some authors openly criticised colonial violence, others also embraced colonial interventions in infrastructural and economic aspects – but still expressed nostalgia for the past. In sum, the poems constitute a transitional space in Swahili discourses on development, showing that these were not merely colonial imports but grew from multiple roots.</p><p><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13696815.2022.2027231#abstract" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10</span><span class="invisible">80/13696815.2022.2027231#abstract</span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GlobalSouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalSouth</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Africa</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Decolonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decolonization</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DecolonialLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DecolonialLearning</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Swahili" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Swahili</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poetry</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Colonialism</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GlobalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WorldHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AfricanHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AfricanHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Poets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poets</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CulturalAnthropology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalAnthropology</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HumanCivilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanCivilization</span></a></p>
