Description and Table of Contents

Description

Tanzania under Ujamaa was studied in considerable detail, and such research provides a useful starting point for the examination of subsequent developments. Major changes have occurred in response to global political developments and the impact of international organizations in Tanzania, creating a demand for the information this book provides, namely recent material for teaching, research and planning. Key areas covered include credit, land reform, agricultural extension, environmental issues and social issues such as population, migration and social control.
