Through a historical study of Omani and British colonialism in East Africa (Zanzibar) and an ethnographic account of its legacies, this project questions what it means to be “Arab.” Drawing on archival sources and ethnographic fieldwork, it interrogates the ways in which the boundaries of “Arab” and “African” were drawn and re-drawn, challenged and fixed in the course of the twentieth century. The project focuses on the social lives of Omani traders, laborers, and farmers who migrated to Zanzibar in the first half of the twentieth century and examines their shifting practices of marriage, concubinage, and divorce and the debates about them in Zanzibar, Great Britain, and Oman. It is impossible to understand the complexities of Arabness without looking beyond the boundaries of the Middle East.

The Cornell NanoScale Facility (CNF) Annual Meeting is an excellent opportunity to learn about the exciting research carried out by CNF users over the past year. There will be approximately 16 user presentations, plus a keynote speaker. We will follow up the presentations with a Poster Session and Corporate Soiree. During this time, users will present posters of their work at the CNF, while sponsoring companies will have displays.
