The symposium was held unter the auspices of the Special Research Programme ""Identity in Africa"" of the University of Bayreuth. The contributors included academicians as well as development practitioners who came from different disciplines - agriculture, law, geography, and political science. They examined problems arising from structural adjustment, changing attitudes to land, and from the deteriorating situation of the pastorialists and agropastoralists. The papers presented in this volume thus constitute a contribution to the current debate about the future of rural Tanzania in which economic, social, ethnic, political, and legal themes are intricately interwined. Doris Schmied teaches human geography at the University of Bayreuth, Germany. "
