Title A name given to the resource Tendi: six examples of a Swahili classical verse form with translations & notes Description An account of the resource Utendi wa Mwana Kupona [Mwana Kupona’s Poem] is one of the most popular poems in Swahili literature. It was written around 1858 by Mwana Kupona binti Mshamu (c. 1810-1860) for her daughter, Mwana Hashima binti Sheikh (1841-1933). Didactic in purpose, the author wrote it to instruct her daughter as to the proper behavior of a faithful and dutiful wife. She advises that while she should pay proper deference to her husband in all matters, she must nevertheless talk to him “as if he were a child.” The poem has been especially popular among women, with the name “Mwana Kupona” frequently appearing even today in such public places as store fronts and market stands. It stands as a notable exception to the patriarchal tradition among Swahili poets of the time. While written literary texts were predominantly the work of men, women are noted for their important role as keepers of the oral tradition.

Title A name given to the resource Siku ya Watenzi wote [ The day of all creators] Description An account of the resource In his last novels, such as the two above written shortly before his death in 1962, Robert became more reformist in principle and critical of his times. Utubora mkulima is an attack on capitalist society and its evils. Perhaps as a sequel in this reformist theme, Siku ya Watenzi wote, written shortly before independence was granted to (then) Tanganyika in 1961, he addressed the issue of what kind of society should be envisioned after uhuru [freedom] was granted. Robert frequently used names for people in his writings that were an expression of the virtues or vices that the character represented. Utubora, meaning “good humanity,” was used, for example, to idealize rural life and values as opposed to the vices of the city.
