Abstract:

The Universities’ Mission to Central Africa (UMCA) missionaries equated urbanity with moral contagion, to which those with slave status were especially vulnerable. To the former slaves who came into contact with the mission, the growing commercial center of Zanzibar, and the coastal cultures it was associated with, were not only enticing, but also crucial to social and economic mobility. The mission’s ex-slaves rarely enjoyed a special advantage though their connection to missionaries. Even for the missionaries’ most treasured dependents, the advantages were ambiguous. However, the mission did facilitate the making of strong cohorts and ease the transition to town living.

Résumé:

L’organisation Mission des Universités en Afrique Centrale (MUAC) a assimilé l’urbanité à la corruption morale, condition à laquelle les personnes ayant un statut d’esclave étaient particulièrement vulnérables. Pour les anciens esclaves, cependant, le centre commercial grandissant de Zanzibar et des cultures côtières auxquelles ils étaient associés était non seulement séduisant, mais également essentiels à la mobilité sociale et économique. Les anciens esclaves vivant dans les missions ne jouissant pas cependant d’un avantage particulier de par leur lien avec les missionnaires. Même pour les dépendants les plus importants des missionnaires, les avantages étaient ambigus. Toutefois, la mission a facilité la création de groupes solides et facilité la transition vers la vie en ville.
