This article analyses how concepts of development ( <a href="https://beige.party/tags/maendeleo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maendeleo</a> ) and civilisation ( <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ustaarabu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ustaarabu</a> ) figured in poems written by Swahili authors between 1888 and 1907. Going beyond a reading of these texts as pro- or anti-colonial, it shows the importance poets attached to urban infrastructural improvement. Poems were also informed by the self-image of the superior, urban, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Muslim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Muslim</a> strata of coastal society ( <a href="https://beige.party/tags/waungwana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waungwana</a> ) in contrast to inferior <a href="https://beige.party/tags/nonMuslim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonMuslim</a> inland societies ( <a href="https://beige.party/tags/washenzi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#washenzi</a> ). Several poets suggested that inland societies should be disciplined, yet differences to coastal Swahili society were usually not couched in terms of temporality nor in terms of a civilising mission. Poets had to come to terms, however, with new power relations as a result of German conquest. While some authors openly criticised colonial violence, others also embraced colonial interventions in infrastructural and economic aspects – but still expressed nostalgia for the past. In sum, the poems constitute a transitional space in Swahili discourses on development, showing that these were not merely colonial imports but grew from multiple roots.<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13696815.2022.2027231#abstract" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13696815.2022.2027231#abstract</a><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Education</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GlobalSouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalSouth</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Africa</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Decolonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decolonization</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DecolonialLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DecolonialLearning</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Swahili" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Swahili</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poetry</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Colonialism</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GlobalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WorldHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AfricanHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AfricanHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Poets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poets</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CulturalAnthropology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalAnthropology</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HumanCivilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanCivilization</a>
