I am grateful to my editors in the New African Histories series at Ohio University Press—Jean Allman, Allen Isaacman, and Derek Peterson—for their thoughtful guidance; the manuscript’s anonymous readers also provided insightful and constructive comments. My sincere thanks to Gillian Berchowitz, Rick Huard, Nancy Basmajian, and the Ohio University Press staff for shepherding this book so expertly through development and completion, and to Brian Edward Balsley for his thoughtful and diligent cartographic expertise.
Earlier versions of chapter four were published, in part, as “Medical Auxiliaries and the Negotiation of Public Health in Colonial North-Western Tanzania” in the Journal of African History 54, no. 3 (2013): 393–416 and as “Ziba Politics and the German Sleeping Sickness Camp at Kigarama, Tanzania, 1907–14” in the International Journal of African Historical Studies 47, no. 3 (2014): 399–423.
My deepest appreciation to Gregory Mann, Volker Berghahn, David Rosner,
