Julius K Nyerere : Servant of God or Untarnished Tyrant?
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 34.55 $In January 2005, the Catholic Church in Tanzania, announced that The Vatican had given 'approval' that, Julius Kambarage Nyerere, the country's post-independent ruler-an autocratic one as it turned out-be called 'Servant of God'.This 'approval' paved the way for the Catholic Church in Tanzania to commence a formal investigation process, which, if found to be above reproach, would lead to the beatification of Nyerere and ultimately to the official canonisation of this 'Servant of God' thereby declaring Julius Kambarage Nyerere a saint.However, the author provides evidential material in support of his opposition to the canonisation of Nyerere. Indeed, in a racy, narrative style, he lifts the lid on the hidden supression that existed during Nyerere's reign; suppression that continued while European tourists were enjoying their safari holidays.The author contends that proclaiming Nyerere a saint would not only make a mockery of the ecclesiastical tradition that has for ages been a preserve for saintly people, but would also be dishonouring the memory of those who suffered and perished under Nyerere's undoubted tyranny.

Remembering Julius Nyerere in Tanzania : History, Memory, Legacy
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 56.09 $This edited volume is about the rekindled investment in the figure of the first president Julius K. Nyerere in contemporary Tanzania. It explores how Nyerere is remembered by Tanzanians from different levels of society, in what ways and for what purposes. Looking into what Nyerere means and stands for today, it provides insight into the media, the political arena, poetry, the education sector, or street-corner talks. The main argument of this book is that Nyerere has become a widely shared political metaphor used to debate and contest conceptions of the Tanzanian nation and Tanzanian-ness. The state-citizens relationship, the moral standards for the exercise of power, and the contours of national sentiment are under scrutiny when the figure of Nyerere is mobilized today. The contributions gathered here come from a generation of budding or renowned scholars in varied disciplines - history, anthropology and political science. Drawing upon materials collected through extensive fieldwork and archival research, they all critically engage the existing literature about Tanzania and prevailing political narratives to explore how nationhood is (re)imagined in Tanzania today through assent and contest.

Julius Nyerere (Ohio Short Histories of Africa)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 23.31 $With vision, hard-nosed judgment, and biting humor, Julius Nyerere confronted the challenges of nation building in modern Africa. Constructing Tanzania out of a controversial Cold War union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar, Nyerere emerged as one of independent Africa’s most influential leaders. He pursued his own brand of African socialism, called Ujamaa, with unquestioned integrity, and saw it profoundly influence movements to end white minority rule in Southern Africa. Yet his efforts to build a peaceful nation created a police state, economic crisis, and a war with Idi Amin’s Uganda. Eventually—unlike most of his contemporaries—Nyerere retired voluntarily from power, paving the way for peaceful electoral transitions in Tanzania that continue today.Based on multinational archival research, extensive reading, and interviews with Nyerere’s family and colleagues, as well as some who suffered under his rule, Paul Bjerk provides an incisive and accessible biography of this African leader of global importance. Recognizing Nyerere’s commitment to participatory government and social equality while also confronting his authoritarian turns and policy failures, Bjerk offers a portrait of principled leadership under the difficult circumstances of postcolonial Africa.

Two African Statesmen: Kaunda of Zambia and Nyerere of Tanzania [first edition]
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 3.75 $The crucial issue in Africa during the 20th century was whether it could devise a new kind of society. Kenneth Kaunda in Zambia and Julius Nyerere in Tanzania determined the direction of their two countries, and the fate of their experiments - both of which captured the idealism of younger Africans - were of transcendent importance to the development of society there and on other continents as well. TWO AFRICAN STATESMEN traces Nyerere and Kaunda's developing attitudes from childhood; the impact of tribal codes, trade unions, and colonial politics on their contrasting countries; and their respective roles in world affairs, particularly the degree of their support for the nonaligned bloc and the concept of the Third World. Kenneth David Buchizya Kaunda (b. 1924), is a Zambian former politician who served as the first President of Zambia from 1964 to 1991. At 94, he is currently the oldest living former Zambian president. Julius Kambarage Nyerere (1922-1999), was a Tanzanian anti-colonial activist, politician, and political theorist. He governed Tanganyika as its Prime Minister from 1961 to 1963 and then as its President from 1963 to 1964, after which he led its successor state, Tanzania, as its President from 1964 until 1985. Ideologically an African nationalist and African socialist, he promoted a political philosophy known as Ujamaa, a Swahili word meaning 'extended family', 'brotherhood' or 'socialism'; as a political concept it asserts that a person becomes a person through the people or community.

Freedomways Reader: Prophets in Their Own Country
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 33.84 $From 1961 to 1985, a period of massive social change for African Americans, Freedomways Quarterly published the leaders and artists of the black freedom movement. Figures of towering historical stature wrote for the journal, among them Paul Robeson, W.E.B. Du Bois, President Kwame Nkrumah and Julius Nyerere. Three Nobel Prize laureates appeared in its pages—Dr. Martin Luther King, Pablo Neruda, and Derek Walcott—and several Pulitzer Prize winners—Alice Walker and Gwendolyn Brooks. No other journal could boast such a long list of names from the civil rights movement: Freedomways was like no other journal. It was unique.Yet despite the well-known names, few Americans have heard of this national treasure. Why? Simply put, the United States was not ready for this journal in 1961. Today, many Americans cannot remember a United States where racial segregation was legal, but in 1961, many of the battles for integration were still to be won.This book is subtitled Prophets in their Own Country because the editors and contributors to Freedomways were not honored at the journal's inception. Eventually, however, much of their vision did come to pass. Until now, these documents, which show the depth and breadth of the struggle for democracy, had been lost to the public. The publication of the Freedomways Reader restores this lost treasury. It contains what amounts to an oral history of the liberation movements of the 1960s through the 1980s. Through the reports of the Freedom Riders, the early articles against the Vietnam War and South African apartheid, the short stories and poems of Alice Walker, and the memoirs of black organizers in the Jim Crow south of the Thirties, one can walk in the footsteps of these pioneers.

The Dar Mutiny of 1964
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 22.22 $January 1964. In the newly-independent state of Tanganyika in East Africa, a crisis erupts. Complaining of low pay and a lack of promotion prospects, the army have mutinied and taken over the capital of Dar es Salaam. The fledgling government, led by President Nyerere, is in turmoil, lacking experience and leadership. They cannot turn to their neighbours for help: Zanzibar has just experienced a bloody revolution of its own, and Uganda and Kenya are also experiencing uprisings in their forces. There is only one country to turn to: Britain. The Dar Mutiny is the fascinating true story of how British forces succeeded in quelling the mutiny in only a few days, demonstrating that prompt, firm and brief military intervention can sometimes succeed where political compromise has failed. Drawing on a wide range of published and unpublished sources, and interviews with those involved, the authors reconstruct the events leading to the mutiny, the tense days of the uprising, and the skillful British operation to quell it at the request of President Nyerere. The authors' intimate knowledge of this largely forgotten piece of post-colonial history (both were present at the time) adds further authority to this exciting story and valuable piece of historical research.

The Missionary Letters of Vincent Donovan 19571973
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 34.79 $Vincent Donovan is best known as the author of the influential bestseller, Christianity Rediscovered (1978). This new book contains the monthly letters he wrote home from Tanzania between 1957 and 1973. These letters give us previously unknown stories: how Donovan met Julius Nyerere, first prime minister of Tanzania; how a group of Protestants attempted to kill him; of his early disastrous attempt to hear confession in Swahili; of the relationship between Donovan's work and Vatican II; and much about the mysterious Sonjo tribe, among whom Donovan spent his last years in Tanzania. They also give insights, from the hilarious to the poignant, into Donovan the man in relationship to his family, his missionary colleagues, and the Maasai. Copies of original photographs are also included. Most significantly, the letters show Donovan's evolution over the years from a young missionary who was passionate about acquiring land for church buildings, into a mature visionary convinced that the only job of the missionary is to preach the gospel. A concluding essay looks at the legacy of Donovan, thirty-five years later, with contributions from three Spiritan missionaries who continue to live out his legacy in Tanzania and elsewhere today. Finally, the essay looks at Donovan's continuing influence on contemporary renewal movements in North America and in Britain. Those who have been inspired by Christianity Rediscovered-missiologists, church renewal leaders, and students of Gospel and culture-will find much here to delight and to challenge.
