Description
Examines the impact of Mwalimu, Julius Nyerere, on Tanzanian and Third World politics.
In this text, international figures such as Father Huddleston and Sir Shridath Ramphal join with Tanzanian scholars to assess, not without criticism, the influential contributions of Julius Nyerere both within his own country andacross the Third World.
Part 1 provides an overview of the man and his thought. Part 2 focuses on those areas of policy in which Nyerere took a particular interest. Part 3 concentrates on the major social, economic and political issues that have been central to the unique Tanzanian experience - unique because of the man who shaped the first quarter of a century of independence.

Reviews / Votes
The volume's editors successfully brought together divergent accounts of Nyerere's legacy by writers who were closely associated with either Nyerere himself or his policies.- -- Karen Coen Flynn * INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AFRICAN HISTORICAL STUDIES *More details
