À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the clove plantation economy that transformed Zanzibar and the Mrima coast in the 19th century. They explore how Said bin Sultan shifted the Omani empire's focus from the Persian Gulf to East Africa, establishing clove as a cash crop that demanded immense labor. The conversation covers the brutal system of plantation slavery, the role of free Swahili laborers and sharecroppers (watoro), and the environmental impact of monocropping. They also touch on the connection to British abolitionist pressures and the Moresby Treaty, and how the clove economy eventually declined due to global market shifts. Key figures like Princess Salme are mentioned, as well as the distinct roles of Unguja and Pemba in clove cultivation.
