在坦桑尼亚中部的Dodoma地区，叫做Wagogo的人们将1917年至1920年间发生的一场饥荒命名为Mtunya——“争夺”。这场饥荒是在德国和英国的军事征用耗尽了干旱地区的人口、牲畜和食物之后发生的。这场饥荒夺去了该地区15万人中的3万人的生命，这不仅仅是约翰·伊利夫所说的“偶发贫困”的一个好例子。Mtunya以及该地区人民和新殖民政府对它的反应也塑造了当地经济和社会与殖民地坦噶尼喀政治经济之间相互作用的形式。果戈人，在他们自己对饥荒的解释中，强调了饥荒使他们依赖殖民经济的方式。对他们来说，这场饥荒意味着自主权的严重丧失，意味着他们失去了控制自己社会再生产的能力。
In the Dodoma Region of central Tanzania the people called Wagogo name a famine that struck between 1917 and 1920 the Mtunya—‘The Scramble’. This famine came after both German and British miliary requisitions had drained the arid region of men, cattle and food. The famine, which killed 30,000 of the region's 150,000 people, is more than just a good example of what John Iliffe has called ‘conjunctural poverty’. The Mtunya and the response to it by both the people of the region and the new colonial government also shaped the form of the interaction between local economy and society and the political economy of colonial Tanganyika. The Gogo, in their own interpretation of the famine, stress the ways in which this famine made them dependent on the colonial economy. For them, this famine represented a terrible loss of autonomy, a loss of the ability to control the reproduction of their own society.
