Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The book delves into the critical role of caravan transport and human porters in German East Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, highlighting its significance for colonial governance. It examines African resilience against colonial rule, labor recruitment, and the instability of colonial infrastructure. The author reveals a paradox where German officials condemned caravan transport yet relied on porters due to a lack of alternative transport. This study offers valuable insights into the dynamics of colonial policymaking and the historical context of transport in the region.
