Lecture | Capitalism and Cloves: Islamic Plantations on Nineteenth-Century Zanzibar


Plantation landscapes have been understood by historical archaeologists to be fundamentally part of the expansion of global capitalism. This talk explores this taken-for-granted assumption through the study of Islamic plantations on nineteenth-century Zanzibar. Through a combination of archaeological and historical data I explore how landscapes were understood by Omani settler colonists on the island during the 1800s, in the process questioning the manner in which capitalism and European culture are generally assumed to be synonymous. Speaker: Sarah K. Croucher, PhD., Wesleyan University.
