Synopsis

She draws on ten years' research to put this rich material within the political, social, and geographical context of a country which took a pioneering role in attempting to redefine African society after independence.

Review

This is the sort of informed and well-grounded study that makes an important contribution to what has happened in Africa and why. In doing so it provides an antidote to the portrayals of Tanzanian socialism and capitalism. --International Journal of African Historical Studies

This is an important book in the documenting of recent Tanzanian history. --Development Policy Review
