“Dividing Dar offers a novel approach to colonial urban history. In contrast to the traditional focus on top-down urban planning, knowledge production, and municipal politics, the book builds on a growing body of literature on colonial intermediaries and urbanism "from the middle" to address questions of historical agency, the construction of sociocultural hierarchies, and the mutations of African urbanism under the forces of German colonial occupation” - Publisher

“Upon my abduction from my residence, growing pressure from local and international media and organizations forced the government to either formally charge me with a crime or disclose my whereabouts to the public. When the government finally succumbed to the pressure, it slapped me with a barrage of fabricated charges. These ranged from sedition for an article published in "The Economist" to organized crime, money laundering and economic sabotage. It went so far as to falsely accuse me of being an illegal immigrant in my own country. I would endure seven grueling months of pre-trial detention at the notorious Segerea Maximum Security Prison..." - Author
