Description

Robert G. Gregory's groundbreaking examination challenges the misconception that non-Western societies lack indigenous philanthropic traditions. This scholarly work focuses on the substantial South Asian community in East Africa, tracing how they established a philanthropic culture of considerable scale over more than a century, before its eventual decline due to intensifying state regulation and discriminatory policies targeting non-African populations. The narrative follows the journey of Asian migrants who arrived as peasant farmers, adapting their economic strategies after being excluded from productive land, and consequently building one of history's most significant diaspora philanthropic movements.

Key Features

Robert G. Gregory challenges assumptions about non-Western philanthropic traditions through detailed historical analysis and research.

The book examines the South Asian community in East Africa and their century-long philanthropic contributions to the region.

Explores how state regulation and anti-non-African policies led to the collapse of this established philanthropic culture.

Traces Asian migrants from peasant farmers to economic participants who built substantial charitable institutions despite systemic barriers.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher known for rigorous scholarship in history and social sciences.

Suitable for readers studying anthropology, sociology, postcolonial history, and diaspora communities in East Africa.
