This article examines the dynamics of the introduction and promotion of cinchona in Tanganyika. It is argued that cinchona was needed to eradicate tropical malaria, maintain plantation labor, and facilitate the settlement of colonial administrators. Furthermore, its production was significantly increased during both world wars to meet the medical needs of frontline soldiers and service personnel. This implies that cinchona was primarily required for colonial missions in Tanganyika, as its production and processing declined after the Second World War. This article takes a historical approach to position the introduction of cinchona as part of an environmental imperative to support colonialism. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of International Journal of African Historical Studies is the property of Trustees of Boston University, acting through its African Studies Center and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
