En Tanzanie, le swahili n'est pas seulement une langue, mais aussi une culture. À 70 km au nord de la capitale économique Dar es Salaam, l'école historique TaSuBa à Bagamoyo forme les prochaines générations d'artistes tanzaniens venus de tout le pays. Les élèves et les professeurs de cette école unique en Afrique de l'Est poursuivent la transmission de chansons et danses des communautés locales, tout en les traduisant en kiswahili. De notre envoyée spéciale à Bagamoyo, « Cette chanson s'appelle Lekatulinge ; c'est une danse pour s'amuser, en swahili. Lekatulingue, cela veut dire "amusons-nous" », explique Epimack Luanda. Il est professeur de danse à TaSuBa, l'Institut des Arts et de la culture de Bagamoyo. Le regard concentré, il observe la cinquantaine d'élèves qui s'entraînent à l'ombre de manguiers gigantesques. Pour Epimack, ancien professeur de kiswahili à l'école primaire, la langue commune des Tanzaniens est essentielle dans la propagation des traditions artistiques du pays. « Nous avons plus de 125 tribus différentes mais nous sommes tous connectés grâce au kiswahili », souligne-t-il. « On ne connaît rien de notre culture, de notre langue » Parmi les élèves présents ce jour-là, il y a Fatuma : « Je suis tellement tellement fière d'étudier ici. » La jeune femme de 21 ans vient d'Arusha, au nord de la Tanzanie. Ces danses et chants traditionnels sont sa raison de vivre depuis toute petite. Selon elle, c'est aussi grâce à la langue kiswahili que ces traditions peuvent se transmettre. « La plupart des chansons sont en langue tribale, donc on ajoute un peu de kiswahili pour que tout le monde puisse comprendre », détaille-t-elle. Dans la même classe ce jour-là, Revellian, 29 ans, explique à quel point TaSuBa est un lieu d'apprentissage important. « La plupart d'entre nous est née en ville, on ne connaît rien de notre culture, de notre langue. Ici on apprend tout ça : les traditions, les chants, les rythmes et tout ça. » À lire aussiAu Xème siècle, l'extraordinaire essor de la culture swahilie Le théâtre swahili est historiquement accessible à tous Des arts sous toutes leurs formes que l'on appelle ici le théâtre swahili. Historiquement, il se veut accessible à tous, d'où l'usage de la langue commune des Tanzaniens. Mais si la forme est la même, le fond a changé ces derniers temps. Habituellement utilisés pour parler des problèmes sociétaux, les artistes font désormais profil bas lorsqu'il s'agit de parler politique. Une conséquence des tueries d'octobre 2025 lors de l'élection présidentielle, comme l'explique Shabani Mbatta, professeur et membre de la troupe Bagamoyo Players qui se produit partout dans le monde. « Si tu essaies de parler de choses négatives comme la corruption, alors tu es en danger.

When Tanzania gained independence in 1961, Julius Nyerere saw publishing as a key part of decolonization and nation-building. In 1966, he founded the Tanzania Publishing House (TPH), putting state publishing at the center of building national identity and culture, and of bringing people together through language.Tanzania's influence grew throughout the 1970s and 1980s. During this period, Dar es Salaam served as the headquarters for several Southern African liberation movements, such as FRELIMO, SWAPO, and the ANC. TPH was central in this era, publishing and distributing anti-imperialist works like Walter Rodney's How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Agostinho Neto's Sacred Hope, Samora Machel's Establishing People's Power to Serve the Masses, and Issa Shivji's Class Struggle in Tanzania.Integral to TPH's influence during these years was Walter Bgoya, who served as managing director from 1972 to 1990 and played a major role in making TPH and Dar es Salaam a center for progressive intellectuals from around the world. His leadership was instrumental in shaping the publishing landscape.For publishers like TPH, state-led publishing ended in the 1990s. when the IMF's Structural Adjustment Program brought austerity and privatization, which hurt state-owned companies. This directly impacted TPH and changed the country's publishing landscape.When the government stopped supporting state publishing, Walter Bgoya decided to leave TPH in 1991. He went on to start Mkuki na Nyota Publishers, carving out a new path in independent publishing. Since then, Mkuki na Nyota has continued this legacy as a key force in East African publishing, producing critical academic, historical, and literary works. In this episode, we interview Walter Bgoya. We focus on his leadership at TPH and his founding of Mkuki na Nyota. The conversation explores African publishing as a tool for decolonization, culture, and independence. This episode is part of the Africanist Press's New Democracy Series.
