AFRICA: THE CASE OF TANZANIA
By Professor Ron Aminzade
On TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH AT 6:30 PM
At SOMA BOOK CAFÉ
53 Mlingotini Close, Regent Estate, Dar es Salaam
A brief presentation by the author will be followed by comments from Tanzanian scholars and discussion.
Nationalism has generated violence, bloodshed, and genocide, as well as patriotic sentiments that encourage people to help fellow citizens and place public responsibilities above personal interests. This book explores the contradictory character of African nationalism as it unfolded over decades of Tanzanian history in conflicts over public policies concerning the rights of citizens, foreigners, and the nation’s Asian minority. These policy debates reflected a history of racial oppression and foreign domination and were shaped by a quest for economic development, racial justice, and national self-reliance.
