In this episode, Tanzanian scholar Dyoniz Kindata talks about his ongoing doctoral dissertation "Poetic and Photographic Practices in the Kiongozi German East African Colonial Newspaper 1885 to 1918". His research addresses questions such as: What was the linguistic and cultural status of Swahili before and during German colonization? How did Kiongozi and similar colonial publications function within the broader intellectual sphere of the time? How might we think about these print practices as early forms of community-making or even decolonial strategies, despite their origin within colonial frameworks?
