Building a Peaceful Nation Julius Nyerere and the Establishment of Sovereignty in Tanzania, 1960-1964
Bjerk's chapters on ujamaa ideology and villagization will be essential reading for historians of Tanzania. . . . Bjerk has clarified the stakes in debate about Nyerere and the ujamaa period. His study will leave historians well poised for the challenge of fully incorporating into their stories critics as well as proponents of ujamaa.
JOURNAL OF AFRICAN HISTORY
Bjerk offers detailed insight into the critical first years of Tanganyika as a sovereign nation and the personalities and events that gave rise to the United Republic of Tanzania. . . . a welcome addition to the burgeoning historiography of Nyerere and Tanzania in recent years.
CANADIAN JOURNAL OF AFRICAN STUDIES
A fascinating read for anyone interested in understanding either the formation of Tanzania or the man who I would argue is modern Africa's most exceptional, idealistic, intelligent and, as this book shows, at times quite coolly ruthless, leader: Julius Nyerere. Jane Plastow,
LUCAS BULLETIN
Bjerk's work will provide an invaluable resource for those engaged in the academic study of the immediate post-independence period in both Tanzania (Tanganyika) and Africa more broadly.
TANZANIAN AFFAIRS
This very detailed book importantly links political events in Tanzania with what was happening regionally, continentally, and globally. Bjerk provides insight into one of Africa's most important political figures and the domestic and international political events of the time. Recommended.
