Sommario/riassunto

Based on extensive archival research, this intellectual history of Standard Swahili--a dialect of the Swahili language written in the Latin alphabet--argues that attention to the intertwined processes of codification from 1864 to 1964 lends new perspectives on history, colonialism, time, and cultural representation in East Africa and beyond.
