Vision and Revision: Demography, Maternal and Child Health Development, and the Representation of Native Women in Colonial Tanzania

Finally, in addition to tracing the representations of native women in colonial texts and at the colony level (Tanganyika), I interrogate the colonial numbers, the official and extra-governmental demographic indices, and analyze the texts and numbers produced about local-level Kilimanjaro. In reanalyzing early colony-level demographic data and analyzing a new database from Kilimanjaro parish registers, I question the tempo of demographic change and the assumed relationship between population growth and biomedicine development in East Africa.
