| book description |

Gone to Ground is an investigation into the material and political forces that transformed the cityscape of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in the 1970s and early 1980s. It is both the story of a particular city and the history of a global moment of massive urban transformation from the perspective of those at the center of this shift. Built around an archive of newspapers, oral history interviews, planning documents, and a broad compendium of development reports, Emily Brownell writes about how urbanites navigated the stateâ€™s anti-urban planning policies along with the cityâ€™s fracturing infrastructures and profound shortages of staple goods to shape Darâ€™s environment. They did so most frequently by â€œgoing to groundâ€ in the urban periphery, orienting their lives to the cityâ€™s outskirts where they could plant small farms, find building materials, produce charcoal, and escape the stateâ€™s policing of urban space.
