An updated edition of the author’s earlier work Tanzanians to the Promised Land, this book revisits Tanzania’s political and economic journey through the lens of its post-independence leadership. Engineer and journalist Ibrahim J. Werrema offers an even-handed assessment of the contributions, both successes and failures, of former presidents Julius K. Nyerere, Ali Hassan Mwinyi, and Benjamin W. Mkapa, and examines the hopes invested in the then-incumbent Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete. Not intended as political advocacy for any party or individual, the book is a concise but comprehensive guide to the nation’s political and economic history, with reflections on areas needing attention for future development. Fifty years after independence, the author reflects on how far Tanzania has travelled and how far it still has to go. Internationally distributed by African Books Collective.
