<p>The rise of Zanzibar was based on two major economic transformations: firstly, slaves became used for the production of cloves and grain for export, instead of the slaves themselves being exported; secondly there was an increased demand for luxuries such as ivory and Zanzibar took advantage of its strategic position to trade as far as the Great Lakes. Yet this economic success increasingly subordinated Zanzibar to Britain, with its anti-slavery crusade and its control over the Indian merchant class. North America: Ohio U Press; Kenya: EAEP</p>

<p>Zanzibar, island metropolis, was the gateway to East Africa in the nineteenth century. Traders, explorers and missionaries passed through its portals on their way to the heart of Africa. Many of them left a record of their impressions of this incredible place - written, graphic and photographic. The book offers a selection of some of the unique photographs from the Zanzibar Archives and other collections, which have survived from Zanzibar's fascinating past. It is said a photograph speaks a thousand words. These photographs illuminate different aspects of life in this bustling city as it was - centre of commerce, diplomacy and learning. They tell an amazing story.</p>
