The ninety essays contained in this book are selected by the author
from his writings published in newspaper columns during the period
1990-2005, a critical time in Tanzania that witnessed the rise and
fall of nationalism, and transition to and consolidation of
neo-liberalism. The essays give an overview of the intellectual
history and traditions in Tanzania, one of the few countries in
Africa which can still boast of political stability and reasonable
openness. The writings reflect the hopes and fears of the
progressive intellectual community, and project a strong sense of
the enduring ideas and values in the period. The author's aims are
to recover the history of the recent past in Tanzania, build a
narrative of where the country is coming from, and provide a
historical understanding of the events and climate of the present.
