Revolutionary State-Making in Dar es Salaam: African Liberation and the Global Cold War, 1961-1974
No full textTracing Dar es Salaam's rise and fall as an epicentre of Third World revolution, George Roberts explores the connections between the global Cold War, African liberation struggles, and Tanzania's efforts to build a socialist state. Instead of understanding decolonisation through a national lens, he locates the intersection of these dynamics in a globally-connected city in East Africa. Revolutionary State-Making in Dar es Salaam introduces a vibrant cast of politicians, guerrilla leaders, diplomats, journalists, and intellectuals whose trajectories collided in the city. In its cosmopolitan and rumour-filled hotel bars, embassy receptions, and newspaper offices, they grappled with challenges of remaking a world after empire. Yet Dar es Salaam's role on the frontline of the African revolution and its provocative stance towards global geopolitics came at considerable cost. Roberts explains how Tanzania's strident anti-imperialism ultimately drove an authoritarian turn in its socialist project and tighter control over the city's public sphere
The Roberts Rain Shower Bath
No full textDrawing of the Rain Shower Bath, designed by Robert J. Roberts. There existed those people who deemed a bath "once a week" a most useless formality, which must be indulged in to preserve their social standing in the community. When Robert J. Roberts became "superintendent" of the Boston YMCA gymnasium, baths were unknown in that establishment. He tells how as a boy he enjoyed getting out in the rain and being showered. The memory of those showers gave him an idea, and mindful of the stimulating effects of raindrops, he devised what he called the "Rain Shower Bath".
