  • ""Who are the Swahili? Do they belong to Africa at all? Or are they Arabs who brought their own civilization? And why, 2,000 years later, does it matter?" In this episode, Professor Gates travels along the palm-fringed coast of Kenya and Tanzania and on to the legendary island of Zanzibar. The 1,800-mile Swahili Coast had been the site of cultural and commercial exchanges between East Africa and the outside world since at least the 2nd century A.D. By around the 9th century A.D., the distinctive Swahili culture had emerged. By the late 19th century pressure from the British had forced an end to the centuries-old slave trade. Colonial powers then began to control trade in the interior."
