Description

Explore a unique history of community support and social change in Robert G. Gregory's study of East African philanthropy. This book challenges the idea that non-Western societies lack deep philanthropic traditions. By examining the South Asian community in East Africa, the text tracks how a massive culture of giving was built over a century. Readers learn how Asian migrants, who often arrived as peasant farmers seeking better opportunities, established a significant social foundation. The narrative follows their journey from economic necessity to the creation of a large-scale philanthropic system. It also examines the factors that led to its decline, specifically the rise of state regulations and policies targeting non-African communities. This work is an essential resource for those interested in anthropology, sociology, and the history of migration. It provides a detailed look at how economic opportunity and community identity shape the way people give back to society. Whether you are a student or a researcher, this book offers a deep look into the complex relationship between migrant communities and the states they inhabit.
