In the late nineteenth century, tens of thousands of porters carried ivory every year
from the African interior to Bagamoyo, a port town at the Indian Ocean. In the opposite
direction, they carried millions of meters of cloth, manufactured in the USA, Europe,
and India. This book examines the centrality of the caravan trade, both culturally
and economically, to Bagamoyo's development and cosmopolitan character, while also
exploring how this history was silenced when Bagamoyo was instead branded as a slave
route town in 2006 in an attempt to qualify it for the UNESCO World Heritage List--Provided
