"First published in 1919 and written in the style of the times, Zanzibar Island Metropolis of Eastern Africa explores the fascinating history, culture and landscape of Zanzibar and manages to be a piece of history in its own right. Written while Zanzibar was still ruled by Sultans and a British protectorate, this 'Lonely Planet' of its day is a remarkable snapshot of a bygone era, while still containing insightful and relevant information for today's reader. Of particular interest is the discovery of how little Zanzibar has changed in the last century, from the friendly and welcoming nature of its people, to the sights and smells of the Darajani fish market. Perfect for history buffs, Zanzibar - Island Metropolis of Eastern Africa takes readers on a journey through Zanzibar and its people over the past 2000 years, discusses the geography and farming of the island, and the conditions of Stone Town - the 'City of Zanzibar' at a unique point in the island's history."--Jacket.
