Political Thought and the Public Sphere in Tanzania is a study of
the interplay of vernacular and global languages of politics in the
era of decolonization in Africa. Decolonization is often understood
as a moment when Western forms of political order were imposed on
non-Western societies, but this book draws attention instead to
debates over universal questions about the nature of politics,
concept of freedom and the meaning of citizenship. These debates
generated political narratives that were formed in dialogue with
both global discourses and local political arguments. The United
Nations Trusteeship Territory of Tanganyika, now mainland Tanzania,
serves as a compelling example of these processes. Starting in 1945
and culminating with the Arusha Declaration of 1967, Emma Hunter
explores political argument in Tanzania's public sphere to show how
political narratives succeeded when they managed to combine
promises of freedom with new forms of belonging at local and
national level.
