Communal Places and the Politics of Multiple Identities: The case of Tanzanian Asians, 1997 (original) (raw)

This paper explores the influence of communal places on the construction of multiple identities within the Tanzanian Asian community. It examines how places such as temples and clubs serve as critical sites for social interaction, shaping identities and reinforcing existing power dynamics while also providing marginalized groups opportunities for contestation. By analyzing the interplay between communal spaces and individual identities, the study aims to shed light on the complexity of social relations and the politics of identity among Asian men and women in Tanzania.
