Pallaver situates German East Africa within the framework of the broader East African region as a way to illuminate the processes of currency standardization in the colonial context. The monetary geography of the region was determined first by the circulation of the rupee and later by Great Britain’s interests to create a common currency for its East African colonies. Pallaver argues that transimperial, international, and regional contexts influenced currency circulation across and within colonies, drawing attention to forms of colonial money and their use by distinct groups, such as African laborers and Indian traders.

从德属东非卢比到英属东非先令在坦噶尼喀：国王和德皇肩并肩

帕拉弗将德属东非置于更广泛的东非地区的框架内，以此来阐明殖民背景下的货币标准化进程。该地区的货币地理首先由卢比的流通决定，后来又由英国为其东非殖民地创建共同货币的利益决定。帕拉弗认为，跨帝国、国际和区域环境影响了殖民地之间和殖民地内部的货币流通，引起人们对殖民地货币形式及其不同群体（例如非洲工人和印度商人）的使用的关注。
