Résumé

on the debates and discussions by which Zanzibari intellectuals crafted locally compelling concepts of racial nationalism. These debates occurred in two phases. The first involved promotion of the idea of exlusionary ethnic nationalism. This was accomplished largely by the elite literati, affiliated with the Arab Association and Zanzibar National Party, who immagined a national community defined by class-bound criteria of arabocentric “civilization”. In the second phase, poorly educated propagandists affiliated with the African Association countered with their own vision of exclusionary ethnic nationalism, one that immagined the nation in explicitly racial terms. Most of the article phocuses on the second of these phases, examining debates from the popular newspapers of the 1950s, [especially the racial nationalists of Afrika Kwetu and the elite nationalists of Mwongozi. The latter was edited by Ali Muhsin al-Barwani].
