"These poems were written at different times in different circumstances but at all times giving vent to personal anguish and political anger. Poems are clustered under several headings to provide a context. The majority of the poems were written originally in Kiswahili. The Kiswahili originals are followed by English translations . The few poems in English have, however, not been translated into Kiswahili. In the first section, the author expresses personal agony at the loss of close comrades while taking stock of their political contributions. The second section 'They have robbed us', is about the robberies of the freedom of the people of Tanzania, its resources and dignity of the people as the country transitioned from the nationalist to the neoliberal phase. The third section. 'Hopes and Fears', is a collection of short poems tweeted over the contemporary period of five or so years, now throwing up hands in despair, often betraying fear and occasionally expressing hope in the immanent human capacity to struggle for freedom. The final section are poems reflecting on a period spent living in a posh area of Cape Town, South Africa, a first hand experience of the death of (racist) apartheid and its reincarnation in the form of (classist) neo-apartheid."-- Source: Publisher

In a gripping personal account of the Asians' last days in Uganda following their expulsion by Idi Amin in 1972, this book interweaves an examination of the country's colonial history with the subsequent evolution of postindependence politics. Expelled from Uganda and arriving in a cold and overcast London, Mahmood Mamdani shares his experiences in a camp run by the UK government's resettlement board and explores the theme of political identitythe politicization of racial identity and its reproduction after independence. A telling and gripping story that will be familiar to refugees and those seeking asylum in Britain, this vivid autobiography is as pertinent today as when it was first published in 1973.

This is the first comprehensive biography of Julius Nyerere, a national liberation leader, the first president of Tanzania and an outstanding statesman of Africa and the global south. Written by three prominent Tanzanians, the work spans over 1200 pages in three volumes.

All these provide the backdrop for his entrance into nationalist politics, the founding of the independence movement and his original experiment with socialism. The work took six years to research and write, involving extensive and wide-ranging interviews with persons from all walks of life in Tanzania and abroad. Among these were several leaders in East and Southern ... Source: Publisher
