| Inhalt | Today, adventures like a safari or climbing the Kilimanjaro attract Europeans to visit East Africa. Less known are the long and eventful history, the cultural development and the diverse and rapidly changing everyday life of the people in this region. East Africa is a cradle of mankind. On the Swahili coast of the Indian Ocean, Orient and Occident have met for many centuries, and the secret of the source of the Nile lured famous investigators like David Livingstone. After a relatively short colonial period which was dominated by the British the three countries in the heart of East Africa, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda have gone their own ways. Nevertheless, in historical times and still today, the cultures and societies of this heartland are intertwined. Moreover, they can only be understood if neighbouring societies in the borderlands with Ruanda and Burundi, the southern part of Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia, the Islands of Zanzibar and Pemba and the Northern parts of Moçambique, Malawi and Zambia are taken into consideration. Our lecture begins with an overview of these diverse developments and then focuses on specific ethnic groups and topics which have received and still receive particular interest in anthropology. The didactic approach is a mixture of lecturing and interactive methods including discussions among all participants and in small groups. |
