Description: The death in 1999 of Julius Nyerere, Tanzanias first president, left a cavern in the consciousness and conscience of the people of Tanzania and Africa. Nyerere was a Pan-Africanist and internationalist and a giant of the liberation movement. This book includes contributions from leading commentators, those who fought imperialism alongside Nyerere, members of a younger generation, and Nyerere himself. 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 need to rekindle the fires of African liberation to which Nyerere was deeply committed.
Review Quotes: Bringing us a global vision of China's role in Africa in its small number of pages, the book is essential for lovers of contemporary Africa seeking an African perspective. Tania Adam, Centre d'Estudis Africans
