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.
