À propos de ce contenu audio

Episode 2 of The History of Zanzibar zooms in on the Mtoni Palace, the sprawling seaside seat of Omani sultans built in the 1830s. Lucas and Luna explore how Sultan Said bin Busaidi transformed Zanzibar into the world's dominant clove producer through brutal plantation slavery, and how the palace itself embodied that wealth and violence. They discuss the role of the Jofra Omani clan, the construction of the palace by enslaved Shirazi laborers, and the tragic life of Princess Salme, a daughter of the sultan who fled scandal and wrote a rare memoir of palace life. The episode also touches on the collapse of the palace after the British abolition of the slave trade and its recent restoration. Listeners get a concrete picture of how power, spice, and slavery intertwined in 19th-century Zanzibar.
