This review is from: History & Conservation Of Zanzibar Stone Town (Eastern African Studies) (Hardcover)

This book deals with the history of Stonetown on Zanzibar...and its future...

Should it become an historic district for touristic development...or be developed for the local population...? The book has 13 essays on various subjects concerning Stonetown...

The issues of finding the money for any rehab project...dealing with the old elites...and handling the area outside of Stonetown ~ the so called "other side" ~ are discussed in detail...

Good reading for the prospective traveler to this historic "jumping off place" in the race to find the Source of the Nile many years ago.
