The Swahili Coast of East Africa Chapter 8 (3 of 4)

Islam Affects East Africa (Swahili Coast) Converting to Islam made trade easier (so trade increased) Islamic trading cities emerged along east coast of Africa Islam was slow to reach the general public (rulers only), so African culture remained strong

Africans had contact across Indian Ocean since 1st century Indonesians and Malaysians settled in Madagascar - introduced bananas and coconuts East Africa went from homogenous villages to diverse metropolitan communities East Africa = villages of fishers and farmers (made pottery and ironwork) Zenj = Arab term for east Africa (By 700s Arabs moved there to trade)

Over 30 Cities Emerge in East Africa Had beautiful, well-constructed towns: Mogadishu Mombasa Malindi Kilwa Pate Zanzibar

Kilwa Wealthy Access to gold from interior Furthest port south Indians could trade Exported ivory, gold, iron, slaves for silks from Persia and porcelain from China Had mosques, tombs, and coral palaces

East African Culture Swahili (coastal) language used – mostly Bantu with Arab words mixed in Islam didn’t spread much to interior Africa (hunters, pastoralists, and farmers) Muslim ruled and lived in stone and coral palaces, while unconverted masses lived in mud houses – shows hierarchy/stratification

Portuguese eventually attacked and got control of trade Overall, African traditions lived on more on East coast than in Sudanic kingdoms

Terms for Different Regions in Africa Zenj = Arab term for east Africa Swahili = East Coast of Africa Sub-Saharan Africa = Below the Sahara Desert Muslim term for northeast Africa Ifriqiya = Maghrib = Muslim term for northwest Africa Sudanic States = States of west Africa (Ghana, Mali, Songhai) Sahel = Savanna south of the Sahara
