What is it about?
The paper focuses on the community-based socio-political struggles for urban citizenship in late colonial Mwanza, Tanzania. It shows how residents used leisure activities partly provided by the British authorities, and shaped their own modern identities.

Why is it important?
This paper is important mostly because Mwanza is an understudied urban space.
Perspectives
In my view, this paper shows in a vivid way the exciting social dynamics of a secondary urban space which has been neglected by scholars.
