Abstract It has become commonplace for scholars to speak of cities, especially colonial cities, as texts in which power relations are embedded. This article presents the findings of six years' research, including archival research, interviewing and fieldwork on the planning and development of Zanzibar. I concentrate on house-building and domestic environments in the city's historic African neighbourhoods, known as Ngʼambo, or the ‘Other Side’. Struggles for cultural hegemony are evident in struggles over Zanzibar's built environment during the twentieth century. The focus is on how the legal language defining house types and establishing building codes, developed under colonialism, became a tactical instrument of the powerful in asserting spatial dominance. Yet the enforcement of the building code often showed the limits of colonial and local elite attempts at hegemony, especially at the end of the colonial era. Throughout the century, the words for African traditional housing and neighbourhood types in Zanzibar have betrayed the disdain with which the powerful have viewed them. There is, however, an order and plan to the ‘unplanned building’ which still dominates the city. , Résumé Il est devenu banal pour les érudits de parler des villes, particulièrement des villes coloniales, en tant que textes dans lesquels les rapports de pouvoir sont incrusté. Cet article présente les données de six années de recherches, y compris des recherches d'archive, des entrevues, et des enquêues de terrain sur la planification et le developpement à Zanzibar. Je me concentre sur le bâtiment des maisons et les environnements domestiques dans les quartiers africains historiques de la ville, connus comme Ngʼambo ou ‘l'autre côté’. La lutte pour l'hégémonie culturelle est évidente dans les conflits concernant le milieu bâti à Zanzibar pendant le vingtième siècle. Le centre d'interêt est sur la façon dont le langage officiel qui définit les types de maison et établit les codes de construction, qui avaient été développés sous le colonialisme, étaient devenu un instrument tactique de la part de ceux qui sont puissant pour imposer la domination de l'espace. Cependant, la mise en vigueur des codes de construction a souvent démontré la limitation des efforts de l'élite coloniale et locale quant à avoir l'hégémonie, surtout à la fin de la période coloniale. A travers le siècle, les mots pour l'habitat traditionnel africain et les types d'habitats dans les quartiers de Zanzibar ont laissé voir le dédain avec lequel ceux qui sont puissant les avaient traité. Il y a cependant un ordre et un plan de la ‘ville non-planifiée’ qui domine toujours la ville.

This essay develops an image of nineteenth century Zanzibari consumer sensibilities by demonstrating how goods from and new engagements with distant locales affected the socio-cultural landscape of Zanzibar. The East African port’s particular cosmopolitanism represents one form of social reconstitution stimulated by global integration. It also represents a material vision of global relations that was discounted by nineteenth century theorizations of Western modernity. By focusing on the rise of a new materiality in Zanzibar, I excavate precolonial visions of global relations and cultural assimilations of global symbols. I argue that East African desires for goods produced all over the globe represented not simply a Westernization, Indicization, or Arabization of Zanzibar, but also a reconfiguration of a standardized set of global materials in an attempt to bring Zanzibari cultural forms into conversation with broader global trends.
