*Culture warriors denounce slave princess* Born into a sultan's harem in #1844_, Princess Sayyidda Salme survived slavery, zealots and exile but appears to have fallen foul of political correctness. Princess Salme was the youngest daughter of 36 children of Said bin Sultan Al-Said, the sultan of Zanzibar and Oman. Her mother was a Circassian concubine, bought for the sultan at Zanzibar's slave market. In keeping with tradition, Salme was given her freedom at the age of 18. Shunned by relatives for backing the wrong brother in a power struggle after her father's death, she lived in Stone Town, the European quarter of the island, now part of Tanzania. She became pregnant to Rudolph Heinrich, a Hamburg trader, and returned with him to Germany, where she lived as Emily Ruete until she died in 1924. She challenged perceptions of East Africa and the Orient and worked to alleviate the suffering of children. A multilinguist, she wrote her autobiography, Memoirs of an Arabian Princess, which was published in 1886 and translated into French, Arabic and other languages. She is buried in Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg, where her grave is deemed of historic importance and a memorial to commemorate her was raised in 2007. Under pressure last year from the Greens and Social Democrats, the local municipality named a square after her. Barely was it agreed, however, when Hamburg Postcolonial, a movement dedicated to eradicating remnants of the city's colonial past, accused her of racist views, and favouring slavery and polygamy. The honour was rescinded by the politicians who proposed it. With a general election next month, these issues have gained prominence on the left. The princess was deemed not to have sufficiently condemned the slavery that brought great riches to Zanzibar and the Arabian peninsula. In her memoirs, she wrote: "The sole difference between an oriental woman's situation and a western woman seems to be that the first knows the number and character of her rivals, whereas the other is kept in charming ignorance." Spurred on by the Hamburger Abendblatt daily newspaper, citizens wrote letters demanding that the square be named to honour the princess. The Emily-Ruete-Platz signs remain but the vote to revoke the decision has not been reversed. Her square is difficult to find because since it is not official it no longer appears on navigation apps. Not for the first time, Princess Salme finds herself in limbo, caught between two cultures worlds apart. Her memory is valued, however, in the Princess Saline Museum in Zanzibar. Said el-Gheithy, its curator, said: "She was a pioneer in terms of cross-cultural commentary and was the first woman to record her observations about the way of life in Germany and Zanzibar." #BrandNewsCorpUKTheTimesJonathanClayton https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/culture-warriors-denounce-slave-princess-pjkm0prvs #ToponymEuropeGermanyHamburg #IRLHistoricalFigureSayyidaSalmeAKAEmilyRuete #PowerControlChattelSlavery #NewspaperDEBrdshtHamburgerAbendblatt http://www.hamburg-postkolonial.de/ #PhenomnColonialism / #TheorySociologyCriticalPostcolonialism #OrgClassifPPDEBundnis90DieGrunen #OrgClassifPPDESozialdemokratischeParteiDeutschlandsSPD
