Description
The death in 1999 of Julius Kambarage Nyerere, the first president of Tanzania, left a cavern in the consciousness and conscience of the people of Tanzania and Africa. Nyerere was not simply a player on the national terrain. He was a Pan-Africanist and an internationalist - in thoughts, writings and, crucially, in his practice. A giant of the liberation movement, Nyerere spoke out loud against injustices across the world. A decade later, his words, actions, achievements and shortcomings have acquired a sharper focus and relevance to our world. This book includes contributions from leading commentators, those who worked and fought imperialism alongside Nyerere, members of a younger generation - and Nyerere in his own words. Their writings reflect on Nyerere and liberation, the Commonwealth, leadership, economic development, land, human rights and education. Above all, they are a testament to the growing recognition of the need to rekindle the fires of African socialism to which Nyerere was deeply committed.
Contributors include Neema Ndunguru, Nawal El Saadawi, Seithy Chachage, Haroub Othman, Horace Campbell, Mohamed Sahnoun, Emeka Anyaoku, Ana Camacho, Marjorie Mbilinyi, Faustin Kamuzora, Ng'wanza Kamata, Issa G. Shivji, Salma Maoulidi, Helen Kijo-Bisimba, Chris Maina Peter and Vicensia Shule.
