Page xx Plate 1 Zanzibar from the sea, c. 1857 Page 1 Introduction The Commercial Empire Zanzibar developed during the nineteenth century as the seat of a vast commercial empire that in some ways resembled the mercantile empires of Europe of the preceding centuries. Unlike them, however, it was developing at a time when capitalism was already on its way to establishing its sway over industrial production and was subordinating merchant capital to its own needs. In the capitalist metropoles this entailed the disintegration of merchant capital's monopoly position and the reduction of its rate of profit to the general average.
Religion and the fundamental bases of culture generally came from abroad, though they were gradually indigenised. The standing architecture appeared on the coast 'fully fledged' in the earliest known buildings, and thereafter, according to Peter Garlake, only 'a slow deterioration in the standards of workmanship is discernible'. This occurs not only when cultural links with the motherland weaken, but also when commercial connections are strengthened, permitting new imports Page 15 to extinguish some indigenous workmanship.
The chronicle of Mombasa specifically states that the Swahili called on the Imam of Oman to relieve them from Portuguese bondage. The rulers of Zanzibar, Pemba and Utondwe repudiated their allegiance to the Portuguese in 1653, though they were soon re-subjugated. In 1661 the Omanis and their Swahili allies briefly occupied Mombasa town, though not the impregnable Fort Jesus. In 1670 they went so far as to attack Mozambique and pillage the town. 16 In this struggle between the Portuguese and the Omanis for dominion over the East African coast, different factions of the Swahili merchant class appeared merely as junior partners of the two combatants.
