Debating Childhood and Maturating in Colonial East Africa
REFNo: SS91ES
Between 1900 and 1960, missionaries, colonial officials, anthropologists, chiefs, elders, educated elites, and cultural nationalists in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania (at the time British colonial territories) came into conflict over whether or not to eradicate certain African customs governing a child’s maturation into adulthood. Demands to ban African customs are still heard in the international media today. Why were these debates so controversial at the time and why do they continue to invoke intense discord? I argue that these issues sparked such conflict because they dealt with differing opinions about how to manage a child’s maturation into adulthood. I investigate debates about rites of passage, puberty, adolescence, marriage, and definitions of the child culturally and legally in colonial East Africa. Many different viewpoints and approaches informed these debates, but they became polarized around two positions: the protection of the presumed innocent child in the name of universal rights, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the preservation of cultural practices that fostered the child’s maturation toward normative adulthood. Scholars have pointed out that this struggle between universal human rights and culture was one that played out within the politics of colonialism and neocolonialism (Babatunde 1998; Hodgson 2011). These discourses portrayed the child as either a helpless creature in need of saving or a future productive and reproductive member of society. These debates shifted toward the end of the colonial era (1960s) as African teenagers’ greater independence became a source of anxiety as daunting as African nationalists’ demand for the end of colonialism (Burton and Charton-Bigot 2010; Ivaska 2011). This project spans the former British colonies of Uganda (1894-1962), Kenya (1895-1963), Zanzibar (1890-1963), and Tanganyika (1916-1961). I focus on the colonial era in order to show how East African customs became part of an international intellectual debate about child development and maturation.
