Contribution of Cattle Riot to the Rise and Development of Nationalism in Zanzibar, 1930s-1960s: (The vanguard that laid the foundation for modern politics in the isles) A Case of Urban West Region
الملخص
The nature of colonial rule in Zanzibar triggered the outbreak of the cattle riot of Kiembesamaki in 1951. The colonial rule was generally perceived as harsh and cruel to the peasants of Kiembesamaki as they introduced a project of vaccinating all the cattle found with diseases. This was not well understood by the peasants as they thought it was a deliberate intention of killing their cattle. The study explored the contributions of cattle riots to the rise and development of nationalism in Zanzibar. A qualitative research approach was applied in which the researcher applied a Case study. The study was conducted in Kiembesamaki, an Urban District in the Western Urban Region. In this study, the researcher used purposive sampling. Through these, the researcher managed to consult forty-one (41) respondents aged fifty years and above. Data were collected qualitatively using Interviews, Questionnaires, and documentary reviews. Results revealed that the Cattle Riot had a remarkable contribution to the rise and development of Nationalism in Zanzibar, and it was the Cattle Riot that entered Zanzibar into a modern nationalistic struggle, the foundation for modern politics in the isles. Hence, it was the cattle riot that brought a sense of nationalistic movement and later on the 1964 revolution in Zanzibar. It is recommended that politicians should learn to be tolerant of the political crisis in Zanzibar
